Typical residential jobs include smart-lock retrofits, keypad entry on backyard gates, and video doorbell installations. Commercial work serves healthcare (Trident Health, MUSC-adjacent), port-related logistics, and manufacturing including the Boeing 787 facility. Coastal humidity, salt-air, hurricane exposure, and specific compliance for Boeing-supplier work drive approach.
Residential smart locks run $275-$650; commercial healthcare, port, and Boeing-supplier access runs $20,000-$150,000. South Carolina requires an LLR Alarm Business license for monitored systems. North Charleston permits apply. Hurricane-zone wind-load applies to exterior hardware. Salt-air exposure within 5 km of waterways and the coast drives stainless-steel and IP65+ specifications.
