Why choose Select Security Systems?
The type of alarm and other electronic security solutions you choose is very important. However, if you want it to be effective and meet the requirements of your insurer or the police, it is important that the system is installed and maintained in accordance with the required standards by a competent installation company. Many companies or individuals will tell you they can install an alarm, often cheaply, but are they:- capable of meeting the standards of workmanship and service you would expect? properly security vetting all relevant staff to British Standards? operating a 24 hour call out service and able to respond within 4 hours? fully insured? completing a thorough security survey and risk assessment of your property? installing reliable, up to date equipment? issuing you with a Specification for your system? offering you a maintenance contract? meeting the stringent requirements of the police or your insurer? Select Security meets all the above criteria.
I have laminated floors upstairs. Does this cause a problem?
Our installer can not lift laminate floors to put cables under the floorboards. We specialise in placing cables in “cavity walls” if you have them, this way no cables can be seen at all. If this is not an option we use wirless technology
We only fit the best technology available, Scantronic - Galaxy - Texecom - Optex
I have pets, will the alarm still work?
It depends on the pet(s) and how big they are. E.g. If you have a cat(s) or a small to medium sized dog(s) we fit Optex RX40PT Pet tollerant detectors and 'Vibration' detectors, unless you have a large dog you will be fine. Caged pets are not normally a problem.

What guarantee do I get?
All systems come with a full 12 months guarantee, which includes parts and labour. After 12 months have elapsed you have the option to extend your warranty for another 12 months.
A few wise words
"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's unwise to pay too little too. When you pay too much, you lose a little money.....that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The Common Law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot...it can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better".....John Ruskin
