Re: Installalation Tips and Tools

["Bob Worthy" <securinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Number one rule: Use the right tool for the proper job.

Number two rule: Keep the tools is good condition. Dull screwdrivers are
dangerous and can be easily reconditioned. Rusty dykes, dull rusty drill
bits, extention cords that are frayed, ladders with wore feet, brushes on
drills, etc. can all be reconditioned and if not should be retired.

Tip: On a post wire installation, when your tech rings the door bell and the
lady of the house answers, the most comforting thing for her to see is your
tech standing there with a vacuum cleaner and drop cloth. It is more
re-assuring then him standing there with drill motors, 6' flex bits,
extension cords, ladders etc. First impressions are everything.

Tip: Have your sales person instruct the customer to have items moved out
away from the windows, doors, panel location etc. prior to the installers
arriving. This will save time and lessen the chance of the installer
accidently damaging something.

Tip: Where contacts and magnets cannot be recessed or screwed down, people
rely on the adhesive strip on the device. Clean the surface with alcohol or
mineral spirits, place the device and then add a small bead of RTV (clear)
around the edges and wipe smooth (using Jim's trick). Saves that trip back
because the tape didn't hold.
