I can understand it, but I can't condone locking a panel before you even
have the person as a client...that's unethical in my book. Stems partially
from the fact that the alarmco was probably haggled down to a no profit
install by the builder...the builder making more money on the system than
the alarmco who did all the work....that kinda thing.

| Sir, best to send it to Jim Rojas on this newsgroup. He unlocks all makes
of
| boards; the other two who do it are located in Canada, and (speaking only
| for myself) ONLY do DSC and Paradox. There just isn't enough business on
| other makes of panels to make it worth while going through the process of
| learning how to crack those boards.
|
| On the other hand, it might be simpler and only slightly more costly to
| simply replace the board.
|
| BTW, Crash, I get lots of calls from people in the same boat, and have
| actually been close by when the client was told by the alarmco to sign a
| contract with them or they won't unlock the clients board (that's one of
the
| things that originally got me into this business...). Most alarmcos are
| quite ethical though, and will assist the client. However, we have three
| companies here in town that are known for this kind of activity.
|
| I came upon a new wrinkle on this theme the other day ! My customer moved
| into his new home equipped with a DSC 632 that he paid $1000 to have
| installed, and which was sold to him with the home. When I went there, I
| found a truly magnificent installation. But on the can lid was a sticker
| that said..."This panel is electronically locked for your
| protection"...!!!!!! (including keypad lockout after three attempts...)
|
| Yah gotta wonder....
