Competitor
Is the company local?
√
Can the company give you references?

Has the company previously performed the type of work you are requesting? (Many actually have not - particularly if yours is a custom solution!)
√
Does the company support its products?
√
Does the company provide a monitoring service?
√
Is the company and its technicians accredited by:
NBFAA?
Your state BFAA?
Mul-T-Lock?
ASSA ABLOY?
Schlage?
Kaba Mas?
√
Does the company perform an assessment of the physical environment prior to beginning work?
√
For government work: Does the company use GSA-approved products?
√
Is the provider a GSA-certified safe and vault inspector?
√
Is the company community-based? Are they involved in community work?

Additional Considerations:
- Be careful with locksmith services since it's easy to make duplicate keys. Ask for credentials from the Burglar and Fire Alarm Association, a Virginia registration for security systems, and/or a Maryland security systems license.
- Be aware that most security companies charge a trip fee up front which typically costs $85 - $150. Be cautious of anyone who wants the full fee up front.
