2013

New Building

In 2013 we moved to our new building.  This building was built from the ground up by Lon himself.  He designed and built it all while coming into the office daily to make sure that everything was running smoothly.  He has decorated it with art that he has created himself.  He likes to draw, paint, and sculpt rock in his spare time.  We monitor approximately 7000 customers from this location and we have approximately 30 employees.  We have three companies that we house in the new location, Security Alarms Company, Security Alarms Monitoring, and Security Alarms Fire.  We are a local, privately owned company.  We now have a Web Page, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  We are proud to serve northeast Oklahoma and northeast Arkansas.  When you call our office you will talk to a person and if that person cannot help you, that person will find someone who can help you.

1989

Monitoring Company

In 1989, Security Alarms Monitoring was opened for business and Lon started monitoring the alarm systems that he was already installing. Business was great and the company continued to grow.  The services that were now available to customers were intercoms, fire systems, vacuum systems, bell systems, gate systems, and camera systems, as well as the security and monitoring services.

1987

Relocation to Muskogee

The company had grown so much over the last 11 years that it was necessary for Lon to make some big changes.  In 1987, Security Alarms Company was relocated out of his house in Hulbert to a facility in Muskogee, Oklahoma.  Lon invested in several company vehicles and equipment. He also hired more employees that were trained to install and repair alarm systems.  As the company continued to grow, Lon decided that installing a monitoring station was necessary.

1976

Early Years

Security Alarms Company was now a company that installed residential and commercial alarms full time.  Lon was working hard, selling and installing systems with only a couple of employees to help with installations, and was based out of his home in Hulbert, OK.  Over the next few years, the company was rapidly growing as demand was increasing. Eventually, it was necessary to move into a larger facility and hire more employees.

1972

The Beginning

Lon Turney started installing alarms in 1972.  He was a counselor for the Oklahoma School for the Blind and needed to make some extra income to support his family. On nights and weekends Lon installed alarm systems to supplement his income. Demand for home security systems was rising to a level that Lon decided to make installing alarms his full time job. He started Security Alarms Company in 1976.
