Report
This company is completely incapable of the most basic security concepts. The fact that they have any positive reviews is absolutely beyond me. They will sell you a solution but their ability to implement it is so far below what anyone would expect. The owner Jay is so far disconnected from reality it is ridiculous. I tried to use them for my security needs, but honestly I wouldn't even trust them to program an alarm clock.

I have been working with Strategic Security Solutions for over ten years. They have worked on the doors in over five of our locations and they are GREAT to work with. Describe what you need and they will help offer great solutions for your company. I have worked with the Pres Jay and you can tell this company does its best from the top down.
