Intruder alarms
Companies installing intruder alarms and other security systems have recently been subjected to a very close examination of methods
of practice and installation standards. The SSAIB* is one of the inspectorates responsible for enforcing this.
Claymore Lock & Alarm Company has full SSAIB accreditation and customers can be assured of the very best standards of service. A free survey is given and followed up by a written quotation. Once this has been accepted the work will be scheduled to start.
When comparing quotations from other companies, check that your quotation is on an outright sale basis. Some companies offer a low
installation cost followed by regular monthly payments over a fixed term. This can prove to be very costly. Claymore has an outright
sale policy.
Intruder alarms can be audible only, connected to a central station via a telephone line (digital communicator) or covered by Redcare.
You will be advised on which type of monitoring would be suitable for your premises at the time of your survey.
Claymore also offers a maintenance contract to all customers. For a small annual fee systems can be covered for parts and labour
for 3 years (after 3 years a charge will be made for any faulty equipment). The maintenance contract also ensures that an
engineer will visit once a year to check the system and test all components. ACPOS** policy states that the Police will only attend
an activated system if the maintenance contract is kept up to date. The first year's maintenance is included in the installation cost.
