  • When do the front and back  doors arm automatically?
    Between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m., and all day Saturday and Sunday.

  • When must I lock the front door and use my code?
    Between 5:55 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. - and on weekends.  Locking the door is everyone’s responsibility.  If it is 5:55 p.m. and you come in or go out, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO LOCK THE DOOR.  Staff may not be on-site to lock it each and every day.

  • How much time do I have to get in or out the front or back door without the alarm going off?
    45 seconds.  Contact a staff member if you are moving furniture and need more time.

  • When are the side double doors armed?
    5:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. - Monday-Friday and weekends.  You must not enter or exit after 5:00 p.m. or before 8:00 a.m.

  • What are the most frequent reasons the alarm goes off?
    1.  People “ride” on someone else’s heels, and the time extends beyond 45 seconds.
    2.  Not locking the door upon entering or leaving during the armed hours.

  • What do I do if I set-off the alarm?
    Call Gloria and Jerry at home 967-6791 or Jerry’s cell 918-3633 or Gloria’s cell 918-3634. We will tell them not to dispatch the police.

  • How long will the alarm sound?
    Five very long minutes, and there is nothing you can do about it.

  • If I use the conference room after hours or weekends, do I need to use my code and lock and unlock the door to let people both in?
    Yes.

  • Are false alarm calls tracked and how?
    Yes, by ADT Security System and staff members.  False alarms mean charges for dispatching the police.  A staff member is called at home each time the alarm sounds
