The Short Answer
To find an ADT authorized dealer, search with your city or ZIP code, then confirm the company on ADT's own dealer listing for your state, which includes license details. Ask for written proof of authorization, read reviews for how the company sells, and verify anyone at your door with ADT before letting them in. Many dealers serve customers by phone and online, so the right dealer does not have to be down the street.
Does ADT Have Local Locations?
ADT is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. For most homeowners, buying an ADT-powered system does not involve visiting an office at all. You deal with ADT online or by phone, or with an authorized ADT dealer: an independently owned company authorized by ADT to offer its systems. ADT has described its dealer program as more than 200 independently owned and operated companies.
So when you search for "ADT locations" or "ADT office near me," what you really need is a company that serves your ZIP code. That can be ADT directly or a dealer. Either way, the 24/7 monitoring comes from ADT's professional monitoring centers. If you want the full background on how dealers fit in, read what an ADT authorized dealer is.
Four Ways to Find a Dealer That Serves You
- 1Search by your city or ZIP code
Search for an ADT authorized dealer along with your city or ZIP. Look past the ads at who actually serves your area, how long they have operated, and what their reviews say about the sales process, not just the equipment.
- 2Check the company on ADT's dealer listing
ADT's fraud-prevention guidance points homeowners to its website, where authorized dealers are listed by state with license details. If a company says it is an ADT dealer, this is where to confirm it.
- 3Ask ADT directly
If you are unsure about a company or a person, contact ADT through the phone number or contact page on adt.com and ask. ADT also offers a way to verify a representative's ID.
- 4Read reviews and the BBB profile
Look for patterns, not single angry reviews. Complaints about high-pressure sales, confusing contracts, or cancellation trouble tell you more than star ratings.

Watch for Door-Knock and "Upgrade" Scams
Some authorized dealers do sell door to door, so a knock is not automatically a scam. But ADT publicly warns about people who show up claiming to work for ADT, a contractor hired by ADT, or a company that bought ADT, usually without a uniform or ADT ID. Lines ADT tells homeowners to be wary of include:
- “We are here to upgrade your ADT system.”
- “We are separating from, or merging with, ADT.”
- “We have a partnership with ADT.”
Never let someone in to "upgrade" or "test" your system without verifying first.Ask for ID, then call ADT using the number on adt.com to confirm the work order. If you do sign something at your door, the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule generally gives you until midnight of the third business day to cancel a covered sale made at your home, and the seller must tell you about that right when you buy.
Local Dealer, National Dealer, or ADT Direct?
All three can get you an ADT-powered system monitored by ADT's professional monitoring centers. The differences are in the buying experience: how much help you get choosing equipment, how the promotions compare, and how the company treats you before you sign. A smaller dealer may give you more time and attention; a large national dealer may have more scale. Our NetSecure360 vs SafeStreets comparison walks through what that looks like in practice, and is ADT worth it? covers the contract terms you should know about before choosing any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a list of ADT authorized dealers?
ADT's fraud-prevention guidance tells homeowners to check a dealer on ADT's own website, where authorized dealers are listed by state along with their license information. That is the most reliable way to confirm a company's status. A dealer's own claim, a logo on a truck, or a polo shirt is not proof on its own.
Does ADT have local offices I can visit?
ADT is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, and most homeowners deal with ADT online, by phone, or through an authorized dealer rather than at a walk-in office. When people search for ADT locations or an ADT office near them, what they usually need is a company that serves their ZIP code, which may be ADT directly or an authorized dealer.
How do I know if an ADT dealer is legitimate?
Check the company on ADT's dealer listing for your state, ask for a business card and written proof of authorization, and if someone comes to your door, verify their ID with ADT before letting them in. A legitimate dealer will be glad you checked. Pressure to sign on the spot is a reason to slow down.
Is an ADT authorized dealer the same as ADT?
No. An authorized dealer is an independently owned company authorized by ADT to offer ADT-powered systems. The 24/7 monitoring comes from ADT's professional monitoring centers either way. The difference is who you work with to get your quote and choose your equipment.
What if someone knocks on my door saying they are from ADT?
Ask for ID and do not let them in until you have verified it. ADT warns about people claiming to be there to upgrade your ADT system, or saying their company is merging with or has a partnership with ADT. ADT suggests calling it to confirm any work order before anyone enters your home. Under the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule, you generally have three business days to cancel a covered sale made at your home.
Can an ADT dealer from another state help me?
Often, yes. Many authorized dealers serve customers well beyond their home city, and the quote and equipment selection can happen by phone or online. NetSecure360, for example, is headquartered in Camp Hill, PA and provides free quotes to homeowners in every US state except Alaska.
