Pinnacle Security announced on Tuesday that it has been acquired by the San Francisco-based equity firm Golden Gate Capital. Financial terms of the deal, which was done in conjunction with Pinnacle’s management, have not yet been disclosed.

They have investments in a number of other companies that are in the door-to-door industry and we just felt like it’s a good partnership that allows us to continue to meet some of the goals we have as an organization around growth."
