PTI Security Systems, manufacturer and distributor of the Digitech and PTI brands of self-storage access-control and security systems, has presented its National Reseller of the Year Award for 2012 to Site Safe Security, which has offices in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, La., and Prairie, Texas. Site Safe specializes in all aspects of security for the self-storage industry.

The award is presented each December one of the companies that resells, installs and services PTI and Digitech systems. For 2012, the award was presented to Site Safe Security Owner Scott DeRanger. Operating the company for more than five years, DeRanger has more than 11 years of experience in the security-installation business.

There are things that are important to our end users that go into helping us make our decision. Since were a high-tech security company, technical competence ranks high on that list," said PTI President Lance Comstock. "In addition, a commitment to ongoing training, customer service, responsiveness, salesmanship, and other factors are all considered in making a selection like this.

Scott does a tremendous job in working with customers and coordinating his staff to plan and implement a custom-tailored solution for security, added Rick Stumpf, PTI security systems territory manager.

Comstock, the founder and former owner of PTI Integrated Systems Inc., purchased the PTI and Digitech International Inc. brands from Chamberlain Access Solutions Inc. in late 2011. The security products are now sold through PTI Security Systems, which has more than 20,000 product installations worldwide.
