Who this is for

If you fit it, specify it or sell it on.

You do not have to be an installer to open an account. Buying for resale is enough.

Security installers

Licensed professionals fitting entry systems across residential and commercial sites.

Gate & access specialists

Teams working on gated entrances, callboxes, vehicle detection and controllers.

Electricians & contractors

General trades pulling cable and specifying hardware as part of a wider build.

CCTV & surveillance pros

Integrators adding entry and intercom hardware to existing camera work.

Property managers

Facility teams buying directly for portfolios, HOAs and multi-resident buildings.

Fence contractors

Installers adding automated entry to new and existing gate installations.

Resellers & retailers

Business owners buying to resell — online storefronts, trade counters and supply houses.

Alarm & security integrators

Companies bundling entry hardware into wider security packages for their own clients.

Locksmiths

Businesses extending from locks and keys into powered gate and door entry.

We supply the hardware — nothing else. Whether you fit it yourself or sell it on, the job and the customer stay yours. We do not install, and we do not sell against you.

Benefits

Practical things that make a job go smoothly.

Not a list of promises — the parts of the account you will actually use.

Trade account pricing

Your rate applies automatically at checkout once the account is approved. No codes to remember, no asking each time.

Drop-ship anywhere you need it

Ship direct to the property, your yard, or straight to your own customer. You never hold stock or double-handle it.

Technical support that has done it

Specification help from people with hands-on experience of this hardware — before you quote, not after something does not work.

Order confirmation with lead times

Every order is confirmed with a dispatch and lead time before we process it, so you know what to tell the customer.

A direct contact

One account contact who knows your business, rather than a general queue and a ticket number.

WhatsApp, around the clock

Message us any hour for urgent orders or a fast spec check from the truck. Answered 24/7.

How it works

Five steps to your first order.

Most accounts are open inside two business days.

Apply online

Fill in the form with your business details. It takes a few minutes.

Upload your certificate

Florida Form DR-13 or your state equivalent. It has to be on file before trade pricing applies.

We review it

One to two business days. We come back to you either way, and say what is missing if anything is.

Your account opens

You get login details, and trade pricing shows automatically when you are signed in.

Order when you need to

Online, by phone or on WhatsApp. It ships to the address you give us.

Requirement

A resale certificate is required

To buy tax-exempt for resale, every account must have a valid state resale certificate on file — a Florida Annual Resale Certificate (Form DR-13) or your state equivalent. This is a legal requirement, not a formality. Without a current certificate, standard retail pricing and sales tax apply to all orders.

Renews every year

Florida certificates expire on December 31 regardless of when they were issued. We re-verify every account at the start of each calendar year. If yours lapses, the account reverts to standard taxable pricing until a current certificate is received.

What the exemption covers

Exemption applies only to products bought for resale to your own customers. Anything you buy for your own business use stays taxable.

Do not have one yet

Contact your state's Department of Revenue to obtain your certificate before you register. We can still open a standard account for you in the meantime.

Apply

Open a trade account.

Registration takes a few minutes. Have your business details and resale certificate to hand before you start.

What you will be asked for
  • Business name and the name of the person on the account
  • Business type — installer, contractor, electrician, property manager
  • License or contractor number, if you hold one
  • Phone, email, and the city and state you work in
  • A copy of your resale certificate to upload — Florida Form DR-13 or your state equivalent
  • Roughly how many orders you expect to place each month
