Nice service from the get go. These guys are truly the masters of modernizing, especially on the security front. They hooked us up at our house with keyless entry with a card or a code at the gate. Anything else sets it off. Installation team was fast and courteous.

This was a great option for my company's a ccess card entry systems. We needed a way to make our spacesafeandcontrolwhoiscominginandoutandweAction1sttheyinstalledthelatestb estkeyless entry tech I have ever seen. We picked a bluetooth keyless entry system but Action 1st has other options according to your needs. Prompt, professional, well-mannered and clean and reasonably priced. They did a fine job installing front and office door lock system. Everything is a compromise but we are happy with the service. Service was quick and efficient. It has been working very well. Recommend them most definitely.

We would like to give Action 1st a 5 star review for being such a professional team and for their promising expectations. We needed Security Systems & access control for our new office spaces specifically CCTV system (IP Based), we searched Google and Yelp and finally decided to meet Mr. Yost, one of the owners of the business. The installation was pretty good even though they needed to ran new wires to the cameras, they did clean and neat work. Overall, I'm very happy with the end results. We appreciate your business and are always open to improvements at our offices. I would highly recommend to anyone that needs the type of product.

I emailed Action 1st, and they responded within an hour. Our office building needed more security, and Action 1st came out to do a site walk and talk about all the benefits of an access system. Before and after approving the quote, the communication was great. During installation, the Action 1st technicians were very professional and courteous to our employees and customers that were walking through the office.
The part we were most worried about was the software training, but that part was extremely easy and really intuitive. It has been about a month after the system was installed, and everything works great!
