We've been a trusted part of the Southington community, helping protect local businesses, schools, organizations, and families while building relationships that last generations. *Since 1977* ## A Family Legacy of Protection, Trust, and Community Founded in 1977 by our family patriarch, affectionately known as "Opa," Southington Security Services was built on a simple philosophy: work hard, treat people right, and always stand behind your customers. Today, as a third-generation family business, we continue that tradition while embracing the technology, expertise, and innovation needed to meet tomorrow's security challenges. *Our Story* ## Three Generations. One Commitment. Our story began with a vision to build a company rooted in integrity, reliability, and personal service. From the beginning, our founder understood that success wasn't simply about installing locks or providing security equipment. It was about earning people's trust and creating lasting relationships. That commitment helped Southington Security Services grow from a local locksmith operation into a respected security solutions provider serving businesses and organizations throughout Connecticut. Over the decades, our company has continued to expand its capabilities, invest in new technologies, and adapt to the changing needs of our customers. *Since 1977* ## Yet one thing has never changed: our commitment to treating every customer like family. *The Next Generation* ## Returning Home. Building the Future. For Wesley Wade, returning to Southington Security Services in 2023 was more than a career decision. It was an opportunity to carry forward a family legacy that began nearly five decades earlier. Wesley grew up around the business, learning firsthand the importance of hard work, customer service, and community involvement. After beginning his career with the family company, he expanded his experience in the security industry, working with leading technology manufacturers and developing expertise in electronic security, access control, and emerging security solutions. His professional journey included working with Tri-IT College and later joining ASSA ABLOY's manufacturer representative agency, Kelaher Associates, where he gained valuable experience alongside security professionals and industry experts. Today, Wesley brings that experience back to Southington Security Services, combining modern security technology with the personal attention and family values that have defined the company since 1977. It's a new chapter built on a strong foundation. *Inside Our Store* *What We Do* ## Complete Security Solutions. Personal Service.
