About United Security

Southwest Virginia's trusted security partner since 1988

Our Story

Founded in 1988, United Security & Control Systems has been Southwest Virginia's premier electronic security design and build firm for over 35 years. What started as a vision to provide state-of-the-art security solutions has grown into a trusted family-owned business that serves industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential clients throughout Virginia and neighboring states.

Officially incorporated on April 12, 1996, our company has built its reputation on delivering customized security solutions tailored to each client's unique needs. We've evolved from a small local operation to a comprehensive security provider, expanding our services over the decades to meet the changing needs of our community.

In recent years, we've continued to grow and adapt, adding Commercial Locksmith Services to our comprehensive offerings. This expansion, led by industry veteran Buck Washburn (formerly of Meador & Co.), demonstrates our commitment to being Southwest Virginia's complete security solution provider.
