ATLANTA, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Pye-Barker Fire & Safety – the largest fully
integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and
security services provider in the United
States – is expanding in South
Carolina with the acquisition of well-respected and
99-year-old security solutions provider Southern Burglar and Fire
Alarm, Co. The companies are excited to provide expanded services
to existing customers through the partnership.
"It's a privilege Southern Burglar and Fire
Alarm Company chose to partner with Pye-Barker."
Southern Burglar and Fire Alarm, Co., headquartered in
Belton, South Carolina, provides
burglar alarm, fire alarm, CCTV, video surveillance and alarm
monitoring services throughout Upstate South Carolina. The company
was founded by W. Clarence
Clinkscales, who owned a wholesale grocery distribution
company before expanding into the alarms industry. Southern Burglar
has built a legacy on doing what's best for clients and employees
over its nearly 100-year history.
"My grandfather got into 'electric security' in 1925 after his
own business was broken into and robbed," said Southern Burglar and
Fire Alarm's president Hack Clinkscales. "From that day forward, my
grandfather set the foundation for our company's values and
principles, practicing honesty and integrity for our clients and
employees, just as he would expect for his own family. After
serving in World War II, my father Hack Clinkscales, Sr. became the
second-generation owner/operator, and then I followed suit in 1975
after college. Our same core values are baked into the good people
at Pye-Barker, and I trust them to carry on our legacy and keep the
same feeling of being a local security provider."
"Southern Burglar and Fire Alarm's low customer attrition and
low employee turnover are a direct result of the culture fostered
by the Clinkscales family," said Pye-Barker CEO Bart Proctor. "They had many choices when
deciding to sell their business; it's a privilege they chose to
partner with Pye-Barker."
With support and resources from Pye-Barker, day-to-day
operations will continue under Southern Burglar's leadership,
highly skilled technicians and dedicated staff.
