Testimonials

On 2/26/2025 Lease Properties had this to say:
Brad and his team at 1st Choice do a tremendous job setting up their customers with a security system. We have 3 properties, soon to be 4, with cameras and locks installed by 1st choice. We recently had a theft occurrence at one of our properties, and the camera system in place caught the criminals, allowing law enforcement to make arrests. The officers were easily able to scrub the cameras to located the criminals caught in the act, and be used as evidence. Without a camera system, installed by 1st Choice, we would never have known what happened. Thanks Brad and 1st Choice lock and security for your amazing help and support, and providing people with proper security for there home and business.
