WHO WE ARE

A Family Legacy of Trust, Service & Innovation

The man on the right is older, wearing glasses, a navy blue polo shirt, shorts, and boots. They are smiling, with their arms around each other.

At Valet Norwest, we’ve been helping Sydney families and businesses feel safe and connected for over 40 years.

Founded in 1983 by Peter Schein under the original name Advance Alarms, our business began with a simple goal: to provide reliable residential and commercial security systems backed by genuine, personalised service. From day one, Peter built lasting relationships by going the extra mile for every customer - a tradition that continues today.

As the company grew, so did our services. We expanded into CCTV surveillance, intercom systems, ducted vacuum systems, and more - always choosing trusted, high-quality brands and prioritising care in every installation. Incredibly, we still service some of our original clients from over 35 years ago.

The man is wearing a black hoodie with yellow accents, beige shorts, and tan work boots, smiling and with his hands in his pockets. In the background, there are apartments or condos with balconies.

A Second Generation Continues the Vision

In 2009, Peter’s son Damien joined the business, learning the trade from the ground up. By 2019, he had officially stepped into the day-to-day operations, bringing fresh energy while maintaining the same values that shaped the business from the beginning: honesty, quality, and a personal touch.

Today, Valet Norwest combines hands-on experience with modern technology - offering customised solutions in alarms, CCTV, intercoms, Starlink installations, ducted vacuum systems, and data cabling for both homes and commercial properties.
