Changing Keypad Codes

One of the most important things to do with your security system is code management. If you have not changed you code in a while (or ever) it might be a time to do so. This is important if over the years you have given out your security code. It is a new year so lets show you how to get a new code. I have this set up so under each picture is the instructions for that system. If your keypad looks different and it may. Call the office for specific instructions for your alarm. These are the four most common Total Protection systems.

Drawing Winners

Here are the winners of the 2007 annual holiday food and toy drive drawing. This year we dropped a raffle ticket in a box for each donation of food for the "Utah Food Bank" and toy for the "Toys for Tots". Then we drew out tickets to give away prizes to those generous enough to make a donation.
First Prize - A gift certificate to the Anniversary Inn the winner of this prize was Helen D. she has been a Total Protection customer for years she was also the first person to donate to the drive.
Second Prize - Two lower bowl tickets to the Utah Jazz game against Dallas next month. Greg P. won this prize he and his family have been customers for several years. It was weird Greg was the last person to donate before I loaded up and made the deliveries. So next year remember its never to late to donate.
Third Prize - 6 months of monitoring for FREE this prize was won by Marjorie T. she has been our customer for a couple of years, I was not able to get a picture but she sounded very happy on the phone.

Thanks to everyone that donated we will do it again next year with more prizes, a better map to our office, and of course a lot more food and toys collected for those in need. Happy New Year! Thank you for choosing Total Protection to protect your home and family.
