Highly recommend! Our law firm continues to be satisfied with Action 1st since 2021. Russell, owner, provides excellent service - even if we struggle with technology at times. Professional and we appreciated his business. read more

Excellent services all around. Always available when needed. We got issue with readers few months after installation and when called them. They picked up phone and help troubleshoot right away! Would definitely recommend this vendor. read more

It is a pleasure working with Action 1st! Russell and his team are true professionals and our favorite access control company to recommend to our clients. If you need an access control solution, I highly recommend Russell and Action 1st! Attention to detail, high quality work and very fair pricing! read more

Action 1st is a great company to work with. They have installed one of our access key card systems at one of our locations and had great customer service. There was a great fluid communication during the project and Russell is always there to answer any of my questions when needed. Thank You Action 1st! read more

Russell, Rene, and Christina were a pleasure to work with. They assisted with the installation of card readers for two doors and were always very responsive any time I had questions. The application is easy to use and Russell gave me a quick tutorial on the process. I will use them again if the need ever arises. Thank you Action 1st team! read more

Very happy with Action 1st -- Russel and Wayne did a spectacular job; and also, are pleasant, friendly, helpful. The installation process was quick and included great communication. Customer service and help with set up was spectacular. This really is a great company. Very happy with the product -- We added access control to all of our doors enabling us to easily customize permission for entry by time and door. As a church with many volunteers, we have at times lost track of who had a certain key. Now we always know which keys are active and can turn one off at any time. In all, these types of locking systems are a great idea. As a church we are concerned not just with theft and access control, but also with the general safety of our congregation. This system is helpful on all fronts. You can't go wrong with Action 1st. We got several bids from some good companies. I am so glad we picked Action 1st! read more

We have been using Action 1st at our headquarters campus for the past 9 years. They are very attentive, show up when they say they will and most importantly, very good at what they do. They can handle locks, access control system, and door mechanism as a whole. When they get here we simply give them a list of things to do, they go off and do them and then just grab us when they are done. They also do preventive maintenance for us. It is always great to have a solid vendor you can count on. read more

The Action 1st team is top notch. For our business we were looking for a card reader system to upgrade our security and to track who came in the building on certain days and times. Action 1st was very good from the beginning with communication. They got us an estimate quickly and the price was reasonable. Russell did a good job on explaining the access control system that would be the best fit for us. During the installation Action 1st was quick and performed quality work. The training on the software was clear and concise. We will be using their services again, and I definitely recommend Action 1st for anyone looking for card reader systems or commercial locksmith work. read more

We were looking to upgrade our security system at our property management buildings to make it more accessible and safe. We knew it would take some time to research and find the right company. We came across Action 1st and reached out for a quote. Christina followed up and Russell have been responsive and knowledgable about the information we asked for. Even when we had so many questions, he was more than willing to work with us. Because of this, we felt very comfortable and confident going with them. So glad we did! We went with the cloud based access control and am very pleased with it. We love how the app makes it easy to update and view at any given them. The overall installation process went smooth. Russell always updated us on the status and laid out a timeline of when the project will get done. Needless to day, I was very impress with the communication. Thank you guys! read more

Our corporate office needed a keyless access control system since there was a major problem with key control and lost keys. We had 65 doors that we needed to have access control installed. We emailed a few companies, and Action 1st was the first ones that responded to us to set up a meeting. We met Russell, and he was great! We did a walk through, and he was very thorough and knowledgable. He was also honest with us about what we needed and did not need. During the installation, Action 1st worked quickly. Also, they were able to work around all the meetings that were taking place around the office. Although there were a few unforeseen issues with the building, they did not charge us extra for the additional time that it took. They also did a good job cleaning up after themselves! After they installed all the hardware, one of the techs went over exactly how to do the programming (Which was very easy). They set up all the time zones that we wanted, and taught us how to add in new fobs and employees. In the end, the system that they put in just works, and we are very happy with the service. I would recommend Action 1st to any company. read more

We had Action 1st upgrade our building/elevator access system in our high-rise building. Great company to work with. Install was fast and customer service was great. Russell was responsive and informative on how everyting was installed and set up. Will definitley be using them for our other buildings. read more

Wow...I never thought working with an access control company would be a pleasant experience but from start to finish, the team at Action 1st was great! Christina, who worked with me on logistics and scheduling during the Covid-closure, was understanding and patient with the (re)scheduling that was necessary in order for the installation to take place at our commercial office building. Once it came time for the install, Russell and Wayne worked diligently and thoroughly to make sure they met their projected time frame for completion within 3 business days. They communicated very well with me throughout the process and were pleasant to work with. Just as important as the "bones" of the company operating well is the actual product - which I couldn't be more thrilled about! It is SO easy to program users, create/modify schedules and make adjustments along the way. I, without hesitation, would absolutely recommend working with Action 1st on any building that requires access control. THANK YOU Christina, Wayne and Russell! read more

Action 1st was incredibly helpful from the beginning. Our business needed to boost security, and we were referred to action 1st. They came to our workplace and gave us knowledge of code compliance and suggestions for access control, security cameras, as well as other hardware security that would protect the offices better. We ended up going with 8 doors for access control and 11 security cameras. They began the installation two weeks later. The crew was professional throughout the installation. They also trained us on both the camera and access control software's. I would highly recommend them! read more

Russell and his team are great!! We have used them on two separate occasions. He is responsive and will not consider the job completed until the customer is happy. I look forward to doing business with him in the years to come! read more

The service with these guys in on point! We needed an access control system for our office, and we needed it done quickly. Russell from Action 1st responded to me and met with us the next day. He went over several options with us (Which is nice because we didn't know that these systems could do so much). We started with 22 doors, and then later added 5 more doors, which was easy. Once we approved the quote, the Action 1st guys were at our office the next week installing everything. The biggest fear we had was that we would be controlling the software, but Russell took his time in going over the system. It was actually very easy to use got it in about 20 minutes. We have already recommended Action 1st to a company in the building across the street and would use them again if needed. read more

I found Action 1st Loss Prevention to be fairly ineffective and​ without​ much integrity. I eventually used Kustom Locksmith Services from Laguna Hills, and they were wonderful. ​​After my painter installed my new front door hardware, I had trouble unlocking it. I ​asked ​Action 1st​ to​ fix it. ​They​ made some improvements but​ ​the latch was​​ still quite stiff and the key had to be jiggled.​ ​They ​said to let ​it​​ ​loosen ​awhile​ Two weeks later I​ was tired of using both thumbs to push the latch and​ had them out again. More improvement but still​,​ stiff ​latch ​and a lot of play on the key. ​Again, ​"Need to let it ease with use." ​Seven weeks​ later I'd had it and, on a good recommendation, called Kustom Locksmith. Within 40 minutes my door was operating​ perfectly. ​​ I​ called Action 1st and asked for a partial refund. ​T​hey told me I should have had them come out again, and then​,​ that I was out of warranty. (Really? a third ​visit?​ and ​didn't they say to ​let it loosen​ over time?) ​I won't be calling them again.​ read more
