Hi,
We went with Gem for our front door and spartan screen as a neighbour recommended them. Paul was knowledgable and helped us choose the right door and hardware with spartan screen.
Now here is where it get's bad. Measurements for the door were done when we were not home (outside). The result was that we ended up with a 3 inch step inside our house when going out our front door. Not good for our elderly relatives. It was explained that they do not do masonry work to lower the step-up. My problem is, had we known, we would have had the concrete lowered to have the door flush with the floor. We were quite upset and made our views known. From there things soured.
Our invoice specifies a deluxe, locking, removable spartan screen. When inquiring as to when this would be installed we were ignored. Finally after continued pestering I was told they can install the screen next week. If not, it will have to be in the new year. Obviously we jumped on it.
Unfortunately the screen we received is not what we were expecting. The screen does not lock and is not removable. Furthermore, the handles on the screen are extremely poor quality and fall off whenever anyone opens the screen. We have to tell all of our guests to let us handle opening the screen. That said, the installer was a fantastic guy. Very professional and friendly.
Thanks
