By SDM Editors

January 29, 2026

On the heels of its acquisition of The Alarm Group, Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, a fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider in the United States, has acquired Knight Security Systems, a Pennsylvania-based company specializing in comprehensive security and fire alarm services. The acquisition brings on additional local teams to Pye-Barker’s national fire and life safety framework to protect life, property and the assets that matter most.

Knight Security Systems was founded in 1979 by Robert E. Maley, a former Pennsylvania State Police trooper, dedicated to helping people secure their homes and businesses after many years of law enforcement. The company was soon transformed into a leader in residential and commercial security solutions, now under the leadership of Keith E. Maley.

“Now felt like the perfect time for Knight Security Systems to join the Pye-Barker team,” said Keith Maley, owner, Knight Security Systems. “We’re proud to have built a reputation for our local, experienced and caring service to customers. Our top priority is elevating that service, and Pye-Barker’s national resources will allow us to do just that while also ensuring our team has opportunities to grow in their careers.”

Bart Proctor, CEO, Pye-Barker, said, “Today, we welcome a leader in Pennsylvanian security and alarm services to our team. I’m thoroughly impressed with the company and culture they have built, and I’m confident their local expertise will be a great asset for Pye-Barker.”

Knight Security System’s skilled technicians will continue to serve customers in Pennsylvania. Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP represented Pye-Barker.
