How to Reset an Alarm Code

Homeowners place a high priority on the safety and security of their homes. Installing a security system is one way to protect your home against break-ins and other safety issues. Generally, these systems require an alarm code to turn the alarm on and off. Most systems allow you to assign a different alarm code for each member of your family. Your security company will assist in setting the initial codes. You can reset these codes yourself later using the alarm keypad. Many homeowners prefer alarm codes that no one else knows, including the security company employees.
