RHC: Well, I for one do extensive locksmithing as part of my "package
deal" for clients. And I've been doing it for 35 years.

If clients can get reasonable prices for locksmithing services such as
re-keying when they move into a new home, as well as some of the
simpler physical security precautions they pretty much always need, AS
WELL as the alarm system, all from "one source shopping", that has
given me a big advantage over the other alarmcos in my area (when all
our alarm pricing is similiar).

Besides, if you are someone's security dealer and only supply the
alarm system, then IMO you are not doing a complete job for your
customer (please no one take offence at that. I know the smaller
professionals will give their clients the information they need to
know even if they cant do the work; however, the large mass marketers
like Brinks and ADT don't (they generally don't know shit from paint
in that regard......they only want to sell monitoring contracts and to
hell with the security part !! )
