FAQ

Where do you work?

We work throughout Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC from our headquarters in McLean, Virginia. Tell us where your site is and we will confirm coverage when we book your survey.

Can you handle doors, security and cabling on the same project?

Yes. That’s what we do: doors, frames and hardware, electronic security and communications (CSI Divisions 8, 28 and 27) designed and installed by one team, so there’s a single point of responsibility.

Do you provide IT help desk and cybersecurity?

Yes. We protect the networks your systems run on and offer a help desk your staff can call for everyday IT problems. Ask us about a plan that fits your office.

Can you work with the system we already have?

Usually, yes. We survey what’s installed and tell you what can stay, what should be upgraded and what a migration would involve.

What does the free site survey include?

A 30-minute on-site walk-through with one of our team to understand your building and goals, so we can scope and price the work accurately.
