Action Locksmith started business on May 21, 1963, and soon became solely owned by Bob and Charlotte Henke. Action Locksmith changed its name to Action Security, Inc., in 1983 to more accurately describe its purpose.
Action Security has grown over the years to the current size of over 60 employees in six operating divisions, becoming the largest and most complete security firm in Alaska. Unlike many companies that employ a "one-size-fits-all" or a "sell and move on" approach to their customer relationships, Action Security is organized into distinct strategic business units that are able to focus on delivering value to each of our clients. These business units are:
Action Retail Service has two retail stores in Anchorage, and one in Fairbanks. Retail services include lock repair, key duplication and lock & safe combination changes. The products that are sold at these stores include security items, keys, lock & door hardware, and safes for all purposes.
Action Locksmiths Services provides Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau with 24/7 radio dispatched mobile van units. These units have the capability of installing and servicing every product sold by the retail operation. Also, technicians respond to emergency calls for on-site building and vehicle entry, safe and lock combination changes, etc.
Action Bank Security Services is Alaska's only service company that has trained technicians on site in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau to provide immediate response time to the banking industry. Action is proud to be a member of the Financial & Security Products Association (FSPA).
