Accidental Expert
Not your typical “security expert”
Alan Young is CEO of Armor Concepts LLC. Unlike many “security “experts” that you may have seen, Alan never intended to be in this position. Unfortunately, when properties that he was renovating were continually burglarized after having their doors kicked-in, he was forced to learn a quick lesson. When they could find nothing to keep thieves out of their properties, he and his brother Glenn, invented Door Jamb Armor, as a way of protecting their investments. As a father of four children, Alan quickly realized that his home was just as easy a target as the houses that he was renovating.
Alan is not a carpenter, locksmith or former police officer.
Expertise borne out of frustration
What separates Alan from other “security experts” is the fact that his expertise was borne out of necessity, frustration and concern for his family. For years, police, alarm companies, door manufacturers, apartment owners and thieves have known that kicking in a door is the easiest way to get into a house so why had no one ever developed a way to stop it? Now, after listening to thousands of customer horror stories, Alan gives regular talks to police forces and police academies on how they can help homeowners secure their homes.
