Door was purchased and installed in April 2016. Contacted by customer spring of 2019 that door glass had a gasket issue. Visited customer and advised Dorplex immediately of issue. Told customer that this was a product warranty issue that was covered under Dorplex warranty and that they would have to repair the glass/gasket. At that time no other major issues were brought to my attention such as those claimed by customer third party inspection that was done sometime in late October (ie: door warp, gaps etc.). Customer claimed that I lied and that I did not initiate service/warranty report to Dorplex. I did and sent customer documented prove that a service#/ticket had been initiated after I had visited her home. After finding out from customer that Dorplex had not fixed her door in a timely manner I contacted Dorplex to initiate service ASAP. On September 15th when the service tech was in London I gave him customer contact info. previously so as to meet with her at her home to view glass/seal issue. Service tech could not reach customer on phone and visited home to view door issue. Gasket separation was on the exterior (street side) of the door so technician could ascertain problem and determine what would be required to fix. Customer was advised afterwards of visit by Dorplex rep and a repair/service date attempt was made with customer. Customer did not like the repair solution and delay in warranty repairs and on Oct 8th customer sent email demanding that “You guys have til this Thursday at 12pm to have it done. 1205pm I Will be taking further action.” . In fact customer has claimed in her subsequent emails that the initial visit on Sep 15th by Dorplex service rep was a violation of the Canadian Privacy Law and an act of trespass!
Oct 9th customer emailed to cancel service repair and not to step on her property. Told to wait until next Wednesday (Oct 16th) for a response from customer on how to proceed. Oct 17th customer email states BBB contacted and “will see you in court”. Dorplex followed up with emails attempting to contact customer for several weeks. Customer responds on Oct 30th to Dorplex she does not like repair solution and wants a refund. End of December communication starts again with customer. Jan 8th customer sends email to Dorplex stating that she wants door fixed and wants to arrange date with Dorplex service (apparently she was out of the country for a while). Dorplex responds that they will arrange for service to occur within the next few weeks. Customer responds that she wants service done within the next week and that it is unacceptable to wait a couple of weeks. Dorplex responds by explaining service schedules for current week are booked. Customer is reminded by Dorplex that service could have been done previous months but she had cancelled appointments and did not respond to any email communication. On Jan 14th customer advised that Jan 29th is earliest service appointment available. Customer agrees to service appointment for Jan 29th. On Jan 16th emailed customer to advise that rather than attempt to fix door we have decided to replace door with a new door at no charge to customer. On Jan 19th customer sends email advising she now refuses to have a new door installed and wants to us to pay for a new door that she will be purchasing from another company. On Feb 7th customer sends email threatening to initiate a social media campaign and contact London Free Press if she does not receive a full refund for her door purchase by the end of the day. Reply to customer later in the day agreeing to refund her for original door purchase price. Have not heard back from customer. Although there was an unfortunate delay in the original repair/service warranty by Dorplex service department, from the time that Dorplex ( September 15th onwards) has attempted to repair the door, customer has cancelled or delayed access to her home to do repairs. Customer has demanded during the course of the fall months and beginning of this year on separate occasions that she wants repairs to be done then demands that the door be replaced or a refund on her original purchase price. Dorplex has agreed on several occasions to repair, replace and refund her money as per customer demands. And in all cases customer has then turned around and changed her mind
This has all been done without Dorplex or myself allowed to step on customer property to view and evaluate/verify the door for all of the additional claims (door warp etc.). Dorplex has stood by its product warranty. The customer claims that this problem has taken over a year to get fixed which is false since I first visited customer after she contacted me in late spring of 2019. Repairs or replacement
of door could have taken place in late September/early October if customer had allowed Dorplex to proceed with service at that time, instead customer has cancelled scheduled service appointments and
then proceeded to initiate further threats of legal action, social media postings etc.
Thank you for the great review.
