"Hi Richard,
Thanks! The latch worked and how fun to see it immortalized in one of your videos. Funny thing I was playing around with the new latch and accidentally found the solution by turning the plate to rotate the body.
And yes I've been looking for a device to help hold the door open! You mentioned a Sauce? MDH. Would like to get more info on this product. (The screw and wire was a temporary thing when I was applying polyurethane to the door one year.) Great video. And the door works great once again. Originally, I had the lock installed in 2003 by a local locksmith in town. Appreciate your help! Fabulous" - Anthony

"Good afternoon, my name is Tom. I'm from Portland, Oregon. I wanted to let Rich know how much that I am getting out of your YouTube page. The announcement of your locksmith series today has perfect timing for myself. I have been a service technician for a company that deals with ALL types of commercial doors for two and a half years.
I watch your videos at least once a day. I go back to your older videos for information. It has been very helpful to myself as I have so much to learn about the door field.
I just wanted to say thanks! " - Tom M. Portland, OR
(04-01-2022)
"Just wanted to give yall a huge thank you for working with me to order the latch guard I needed. I reached out to several hardware stores in my area and online. Some flat out would not assist me and others said they could help and explained the process of exactly what needed to be done to order the latch guard for me, but for whatever reason would not follow through. I was able to get the Don-Jo DLP 207, which is a newly released product, ordered from ABS. It was not listed on anybody's website and many were not willing to order it for me. But you did. I got it installed and it was exactly what I needed for my outswing door.
Thank you for your kindness and for treating me like a person. It really means a lot." - T D Shreveport, LA
(01-01-2022)
"Hello Rich!
I want to extend our thanks for your exceptional work during the past year. There are

"Hello Mr. Howard!
I appreciate your cutting the shipping in half and yes, I agree, you have excellent customer service for an individual with a very small order. You have earned my business but cant think for what else at this moment but will try to come up with something! I logged in but I dont see where to complete the purchase. It looks like my order may have been placed but I am not sure. I will make a phone call to learn what I should do from here. Thank you kindly.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2022!
Best regards," - Kathy R. Prescott Valley, AZ

"I apologize for taking so long to answer this. Originally I was waiting till the contractor installed the bar to make sure all was OK. He only took 3 days getting here but by then my husband was sick and we have spent the last several weeks doing MRI's, biopsies and doctor appointments. Needless to say all non-essential emails stayed unanswered.
Your company was wonderful to deal with. From the first telephone call to the replacement grab bar. The person I first spoke to took the time to explain the different bars and helped me decide what I needed. I did not feel like I was bothering them even though I was only ordering 4 bars. Again your company was so accommodating when I needed the replacement bar. The bar worked like a charm and I have to admit it was much better and neater. The weld on the first bar was so sloppy but the second one was much neater and more professional and the middle support was the correct length.
I am sorry but I don't do social media or leave reviews. I thought I would make an exception in your case because your company was so helpful but when I started I realized that my full name would appear and I just don't do that on the internet.
Thank you again and Best regards," - Jane C. Hilton Head Island SC

I think we are going to try to make use of a threshold we already have. If that doesn't work, we will order the 72" one. BTW, the reason I keep coming to ABS is because of the customer support and, importantly, your videos. Honestly, it is a model for how other companies should operate." - Cody G. Ceres, CA

"Hi Richard! Excellent customer service!
I only held off because I thought I would try a Canadian supplier once more tomorrow. But since we are chatting I will ask about customs and import charges. I assume they will apply? Any idea how much?
My local locksmith has been unable to find the correct cylinders so I have been looking. We have 11 of these Kaba locks installed but are missing 7 cylinders which got lost during construction. Keypads work though!!
I will take the day tomorrow to source Canadian based suppliers (names given by Dormakaba) and if unsuccessful will be back to you.
Truly appreciate your follow-up. Regards," - Sheryl K. Toronto, Canada

I placed an order for a set of the 7512's on Thursday evening. Y'all are so fast on your shipping that it is due to arrive here today! I'm really impressed with your company! And, kudos for all of your videos. I don't believe I would have found ABS were it not for the videos.
I'm retired and am always working on trying to improve "stuff" around our home. I'll keep the ABS site handy as one of the first places I'll look!!! Thanks for everything!!!" - Bruce S. Northport, AL

"Hey,
I just wanted to say thank you for a video you put on YouTube a while ago showing how to fix a lever lock problem.
I buggered up my back door by putting a key in the outside when there was already a key in the inside and couldn't remove either key unless the door was locked. Aaaargh! But your video gave me good hints at how to fix it, so, thank you! Thought you'd like to know.:-)" - Elizabeth, Cardiff, Wales

"This message is for Rich Howard,
We have an Adams Rite Dead Latch Paddle for our “main” door, which failed earlier today due to a bent interior spring. When I took it apart it kind of “exploded” with washer and springs going everywhere. I found a detailed video that you put together for the Adams Rite Latch and by watching it I was able to determine where everything should be located, and now our door is able to open, much to the happiness of our employees and the Fire Marshall. It looks like ABS has Chicago ties. I’m a 5th generation Chicagoan. We have a bent door frame, which we have been trying to get our Landlord to replace for years.
We will definitely keep ABS in mind if we can ever convince them to replace it. Thank you for taking time to put together the video. It was truly helpful. All the best, " - John H. Wilmette, IL
(04-10-2021)
"Rich,
I appreciate all the effort you put into this! As we did not hear from Stanley since your last email on March 2, I was growing concerned that we might be hitting a dead end, which turns out, was the case.
I will monitor my credit card transactions, looking for the refund, and will notify you once it posts.
Again... even though this part is no longer available, you did an excellent job of keeping me in the loop, the entire time. Thank you again for everything you tried to do in assisting me! Regards," - Sharon P. Danville, PA

I'm all set with my product and installed it already. The reason I purchased from your company (first time buyer) is your customer service.

Massively helpful to see the products in a video to know how it works and verify functionality, etc. I will definitely purchase again when I have a need. Very appreciative," - Danno M. Washington DC

The hinges were exact replicas of the 50+ year old hinges. Sadly, the postal service too [sic] their sweet time with the package, but I was glad to see that they finally arrived... I will use FedEx next time.
I plan to visit your retail store in Naples, next time I go to the west coast. Thanks!" - Merritt B. Miami, FL

"Hi Richard,
Sorry for the late reply, I'm frantically working to finish up a kitchen and two bathrooms for a new home that will be moved into before Christmas. The big push is on now that December is here.
I watched the YouTube video that you made showing the issue with the geometry regarding a 12" wide hinge as it opens. I fully understand this and I really appreciate that you care enough to go through the extra effort to make this demonstration. I love that you are detail oriented!
The photos that I sent you earlier are of the existing doors. I will be building two new doors swinging inward (these are the ones that the 12" hinges are for) with two new storm doors swinging outward (using existing exterior hinges) and these will all be installed on new jambs and casings. The entire old door unit is being replaced. I am building this as a pre-hung and pre-finished door unit in my shop where all the hardware will be tested before installing it at the job site. That way all of the potential issues will be worked out beforehand.
Thanks again for your attention to detail... Very much appreciated! All the best," - Rob R. Bluff Point, NY
(12-03-2020)
"I don't know that anyone will ever see this review as it's such a random product regarding the Ilco Rebuilt 23 However, given my experience I would totally recommend them to restore any door closer.

Thanks, AB Supply!!!" - Tracy W. Memphis, TN

"Thank you Rich!
I have passed along the info. I know Johnny had mentioned that you guys were having an issue with them on pricing. I am not worried about it on our end since it was a one time rush thing, but I get that you need to stand up for yourself with folks too. Sometimes being able to send you guys things and know it is handled is more valuable to me than finding it the cheapest place possible (which you guys usually are anyway). This one particular project has been bonkers trying to finish up so the fact that they are delivering tomorrow takes a huge load off and I can check off one more box on my list. I appreciate you fighting for the best price, but if it’s too much of a headache, I’m not stressing it. Thanks for helping us get it handled!" - Helen P. Union City, GA

As you know, in our business, a lot of the times we are re-inventing the wheel or saving the day with some hardware or whatever it may be, but it's ALWAYS needed in a pinch and ABS almost always comes thru for us! I'll be sure to send rapid quotes your direction in the future." - Aric K. Palatine, IL

"On my Ultra Hardware 60857, my top portion was mounted on the wall too low, and wasn't allowing the door to float upward, so it felt too snug and I wasn't sure why. Your video helped me fix it right away. Thanks!!" - Heidi S. YouTube

(08-18-2020)
"Rich,
This client made it a point to tell me more than once that he went with our company because of your knowledge and YouTube videos. He said that you have helped him fix many things around his home and even more so, helped him identify all of the parts he needed with your expertise. He wanted you to know that he has been an Amazon shopper for quite some time but anything that he can get from you, he does. That is awesome!" - Jamie T. Memphis, TN

"Cory,
Thank you for checking with me regarding satisfaction for my order. When it comes to items that you supply, I will look to you first. The sales person was very helpful when I order the hinges, I did miss that these would have to be ordered from Hager, but when I inquired about the hinges not arriving, your company was prompt with getting back to me. I have one side installed, the door we use all the time. This swing is much better now." -
Lee K. Schenectady, NY

"Thank you for digging into this for us. In 20 minutes you found something that a couple guys in our engineering department spent a lot longer trying to find." - Helen P. Union City, GA
(06-11-2020)
"You are the best!! That is why you are my go-to guys. Engineering was thinking we were going to have something custom made when they couldn't find anything. I ran it by them yesterday and they believe that will work for what we need. They are still in the drawing stages so this is the hardware they will spec for these and I will order them as soon as we are released to purchase hardware. Thank you so much for your help! If we can get them to follow this kind of process, hopefully it will make things easier from day one instead of scrambling to make some kind of hardware work later. Thanks!!" - Helen P. Union City, GA

"From client
To explain, I paid ABS in advance for these items. When they were shipped the first time from National Guard Products, they were bent in half by the time the UPS driver delivered them to me, so I refused delivery, the driver agreed, and UPS returned them to you, and supposedly opened up a claim for damaged goods. Because I never received replacements, I contacted ABS, and ABS initiated another order to replace the parts, which NGP eventually shipped to me. This time the box was reinforced with stiffeners (as it should have been the first time), and the items arrived in good shape.
So from my viewpoint, I have paid for and received everything successfully, and the items have been installed. Any remaining payment issues are between ABS and NGP and UPS to settle. I believe that UPS should be responsible for paying to replace the items damaged in shipment, although NGP could have avoided this with better packaging the first time. Thanks.
And by the way, ABS was very helpful in all of this, so I don't have any problem with ABS, and would recommend them to anyone." - Bob C. Clarksboro, NJ

"Wow, I am not kidding you. Your firm has the absolute best customer service. Kudos to you and your team. I work in Oak Park and live in Berwyn. I greatly appreciate any help we can get on these. I need to double thermal break because it is supposed to be under the door per our architect and the wide 8-3/8" threshold only makes that happen by having one of the thermal breaks closer to the edge than the middle. We need two of them at about 39", so I ordered the 48' ones. If you have a longer one that I can cut into two pieces then it would work as well. The main sticking points for us are the 8-3/8" width and trying to keep that thermal break closer to one side." - Chris L. Oak Park, IL

"Rich,
Thank you for looking into this. For the specific door we need this rim cylinder for, we can go with the 5-pin cylinder. We do want to keep with the satin bronze finish here. In other doors the 6th pin is more important than here.
I must say that your attention to detail is most welcome.
Thank you again." - Jim E. Camp Hill, PA

"Rich, you may not recall me, but you took a call on a weekend back in March and helped me figure out which Bommer spring pivot to buy to replace a broken Stanley one which I think had been in our house since 1977 when it was built. You also helped me figure out the tolerances to make sure the new part would work smoothly. It took me a while to get around to the project, but I finally got to it yesterday. Finished work attached. I wanted to thank you for your help. It’s nice to buy from someone who cares about the product and is so generous with their time. I wish I had more I needed to buy from you.
One question — I neglected to cut in the 1-1/2" groove (1/2" wide, 1/8" deep) because I didn’t appreciate its importance until I went back and saw your video again. How critical is that groove? The door seems to operate fine without it. Is it just to that pin that slides doesn’t rub on the wood? Or does that pin somehow protrude above the top surface of the mechanism at some point, maybe when the door is in hold open?
Anyway, thanks again for your help!" - Eric L. Milwaukee, WI

I want to reiterate how much I appreciate your help and you jumping through the hoops on this one with me. I know I can always come to you guys when I need special help (as well as just the regular orders) and you keep my sanity quite a bit more in tact than it would be if I was trying to figure this stuff out on my own.
I hope you have a fantastic Friday and a great weekend! Have a great day!" - Helen P. Union City, GA
(05-03-2020)
"Hey!
I just wanted to give you a shoutout for your AWESOME YouTube channel. I’ve been fascinated by architectural hardware since before my time in the Interior design program at FSU. Your videos have been extremely helpful and practical for a few projects I’ve worked on, including at my church, where we are upgrading the older buildings on our property to a Corbin Russwin master key system (to match main building, which was built in 1998 with the old Grade one CR levers). We are using primarily Schlage ND levers, and some AL for lesser used doors, and Ilco cylinders to work with our master keying. We have a few Kaba keypad lever locks which I’ve installed as well. What’s particularly funny is that I believe you were the supplier that one of our sister churches used a few years back (Vanderbilt Presbyterian of Naples). Anyway, keep up the good work, and I’ll keep learning new things about this great industry!" - Matt from Melbourne

I just wanted to say thank you. The keys arrived today and I took them over to the church and tried a couple of them and they worked just wonderfully, better than the original. Again, thank you so much for your assistance in what the locals could not do around here." - Peter M. Bridgton, ME
(03-23-2020)
"Thanks for the proactive update. If it does ship in 4-6 weeks, that will about 4-6 weeks earlier than I expect it to! Given the situation, I'll take whatever I can get. But most of all, thank you for being proactive. That kind of attention to detail and service really sets y'all apart." - Danny M. Alpharetta, GA

"Rich,
I am over the moon with the results so much so that I have the other two closures from the building in my car ready to be packaged and mailed to you. I took pictures of the closure and send them to the Owner who was equally pleased. I am wondering do you come across other older parts such as light fixtures? I am looking for an end cap on a fluorescent light fixture - art deco style. This building had 4 original light fixtures. To have this part manufactured would be thousands of dollars so I am on a salvage hunt. Should I figure the other 2 closures to be the same price? Please let me know. Gratefully yours," - Nicolette K. New Rochelle, NY

"No Ron, but I Thank You for your help and concern. I'm waiting to hear back fro ProVia doors. Masonite Co. told me it looked like a ProVia door. I found a ProVia french door and measured the hinges. They were four inch ball bearing hinges like the door I have on the front of the house. I have not found any other company that uses 4" hinges in this area; most are 4-1/2" or larger. Again I wish to thank you. Your concern to customers and potential customers is an asset to the company."

"Hi Rich,
Thanks a bunch for the video and measurements, I greatly appreciate it! Looks like it will work perfectly for my vise, so I've gone ahead and put the order through - I'm having it shipped to the border for pickup so no need to bother with getting a Canadian shipping quote for me. Thanks again for the exemplary customer service!"

"Hi Rich,
I keep forgetting to send you an email! Last year I actually completed this project and the hinges work *great*! Here's an imgur album I made for it: https://imgur.com/a/j2mschd
I may end up posting to /r/DIY on reddit, but for now, too lazy :-)
Anyway, wanted to say thanks for encouraging me to do it! And I learned a *TON* about working with metal and welding and such (I've since added a bunch of metal working tools to my workshop: a Lincoln Electric stick welder, a HF bandsaw, a 7x14 mini lathe, sandblasting cabinet, floor drill press, to name a few). Cheers! :-)"

"Hi Johnny,
Thank you for following up. I sincerely appreciate the response your firm provided in replying to my request. In this case, the quote your firm provided was an alternate seal vs than the manufacturer I had specified system (due to a lack of response from the manufacturer). In my case, since I am working to accommodate existing conditions for a retrofit, the door seal needed to match exactly with the existing frame and seal. Due to the complexity of matching the existing, I decided to replace the entire frame and utilize a standard seal assembly.
Thanks again for following up. Great customer service. Best wishes to you for the holidays. Regards," - Larry L. King County, WA

"Hi,
Just thought I'd let you know I decided to order the BM8X8CH shower door
handle set from you because of the informative video on the product. I
wanted a handle that was of decent quality that wouldn't break the bank
and I think this will fill the bill nicely. Seems to be a well thought
out item - especially the angled set screw location.
I was going to buy
from another online vendor and would've saved a few dollars, but the
video changed my mind. Well done." - Lee S. Wichita Falls, TX

Thanks so much for your help. We had those type of clamps and didn't realize the glass company didn't drill the holes in the glass. No wonder the clamps didn't work. About an inch space between the wall and glass. We ordered a track for the wall and will get it later this week. Thank you so much for all your help. Your company has a great employee who is pleasant, hard working, doesn't give up and follows through. You deserve a raise! Happy customer," - Jackie W.

Thank you for your follow up. I was in search of a supplier/manufacturer who could produce the door, as the supplier who bid on the project wasn’t able to produce it per the drawings – turns out they can just at a price they didn’t like. Ultimately though, they will stay in contract and pay the price. Thank you for your help and great customer service. I will keep your info for future reference. Thanks again," - Rochelle H.

"Rich,
You do this type stuff very well. Just for your info, if you ever wondered what the flat disc is in the tailpiece pack, it is to slip over the tailpiece and rest against the screw cap to space the cylinder forward in the knob/lever when needed to take out the excess play.
I enjoyed and appreciate the length of trouble you have gone through to answer this question for everyone, including me. Thank you so much for your diligence.
Have a good one. Let me know if you ever need me to send you anything." - Thomas P. Charlotte, NC

Thank you for getting back to me on this. I understand that things like this can happen ( I've had a heck of a time finding this part!... and it's not an order that will change anyone's bottom line!). Anyway, I'd like to pursue the Zero product from Legacy in the interest of time. Please let me know the exact cost I'll be looking at, and let me know what I need to do to get things expedited. Your attention to my little order has gone a long way to impress me with your company and your quality of service. Sincerely," - Ray K. Elyria OH

I was just loathe to have to pay the freight to and from Panama along with duty, so-o-o-o-o-o I decided to give it a try one more time (if at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer). I actually got the dust cover off and with your more detailed instructions, I was able to get the job done. I will still write a glowing review for you.

"Richard,
You did a lot of research to locate an obscure 30-cent item - that I can’t live without - and I much appreciate that effort. As it happens a local locksmith I work with was able to order it for me and tells me to expect it in a few days. This is probably the first email I’ve ever sent to a vendor I “met” on the internet. That’s because you’re the first to bring a human touch to the impersonal buy & sell process, and I appreciate it very much. Sincerely,"

Attached are a couple of pictures of the latest project that I completed using one of your excellent louver cores.
Just to refresh your memory, I purchased two louver core units to use on the air intake vents in my house as part of the stone work project around my fireplace. The pic is of the first project and the second & third pics are of the latest project. The louver cores were a joy to work with thanks to the great craftsmanship of your guys. The louvers on both jobs fit perfectly. It made my job much easier. Thanks for making such a great product and enjoy the pictures.

I was also able to locate a bend in the metal plate attached to the door which had allowed the hinge to free itself during a particularly strong gust of wind. I sincerely appreciate your assistance! You were very understanding and I felt like you were on my side from the first phone call. You said "If you take the time to send the picture, I promise I will take the time to look." I really appreciated that. Thanks for helping this stressed-out, new homeowner fix the first thing to break on me. I sure hope my future issues are met equally excellent customer service reps!!!

"Hello Mr. Howard:
I'm writing to express my appreciation and amazement. I contacted you August 28th about an LCN Mid Swing controller I wanted to have rebuilt. Later that day, per your instructions, I mailed it to the address supplied via USPS Express Mail which didn't have tracking. From there I crossed my fingers. Today I already received the repaired unit back. Wow!!! I immediately installed it, and now the third floor men's restroom in the Tech Ed 3 building is back to having a working automatic operator. My thanks and compliments to you and your repair staff. Sincerely," - Marcia J.

"Mr. Howard,
You all have been exceptional in your efforts on my behalf. I have thought about a bulb replacement, but the "T" attachment would have to be at the bottom of the bulb, and that wold be really weird. I am going to go back to your original web page and make sure that if I ever need anything that your company sells, I promise you I will buy from you. Outstanding effort! But I will have to figure this one out from here. Thank you and please tell Jessica thanx also." - Paul S.

"Rich,
Let me begin by saying that you guys have been great in this whole process. I appreciate all the effort you guys have put forth to help me out with this. I would have never thought that it would have been this difficult or complicated to get additional keys made.
These locks were installed at least 15 to 20 years ago by an individual who was a locksmith on the side. My challenge now is to try and track him down and see if he can help me out with new keys. As of now, I would request that you please refund my credit card for the total amount that was charged to it. If the original locksmith cannot supply me with keys,
I will then have to go back to my board of directors and see which direction to go next.
Again, I thank you, Drew and anyone else that has assisted in the project. Thanks," - Mark E.

The wealth of knowledge he’s left on YouTube is amazing and ACCURATE!!! I’m so glad someone took the time to cover all these different products in such detail.
Thank you so much!" - David L.

"Rich,
Product was exactly as described and was the best price I found. Shipping was fast
and reasonably priced. I placed the order in the afternoon and it arrived 2 days
later - much faster than I expected. Online support was helpful in pointing out
that the 36" length was in stock and I could cut it myself rather than waiting for
a custom 34" length to be cut. Excellent Service!"
- David G.
(05-28-2015)
"Rich,
The door and all the additional hardware was perfect. The frame fit perfectly into
the opening. Everything was perfect. Whoever the salesman was that helped me with
this order did an excellent job. Really made the install go smoothly."
- Kevin M.
(05-07-2015)
"Rich,
You guys have amazing customer service and follow up. I wish my company did as well
in this area.
The reason that I did not complete my purchase is that there was some confusion
on which key would work in the keyway of the cylinders that I was about to buy.
I posted a question about it and someone from customer service is researching it
for me. Assuming it is compatible with the keyways we are currently using I will
complete the purchase when I hear back from him.
I had an additional question that I received a very complete answer to as soon as
I asked it. I am looking forward to doing business with your company."

"Hi Richard and warmest greetings from Australia,
Just a quick note to let you know that my order arrived safely here "down under"
yesterday afternoon.
Thank you so much for your very kind and efficient service in helping me source
this Hager product. Very much appreciated indeed. Kindest regards,"
- Chris H.

"Rich,
It ended up working out very well. Thank you for working with me on it and helping
me get a legitimate facility code with Schlage. I know it is a lot quicker and easier
to process an order for an existing customer compared to spending three weeks with
someone like me to get all the details sorted out before you actually get an order.
I just wanted to say that I really do appreciate it."
- Connor W.
(12-16-2014)
"Rich,
you may or may not remember this order, but I wanted to thank you for your help.
The job was a success and we were able to get the work in place and it was a positive
impression for our company with that client. You guys helped make that possible,
and I never spoke to you afterwards but I really appreciate it. I am sure you get
plenty of people that are upset and don’t understand, and few people that say thank
you. So from myself and Combined Resources, thank you."
- Joshua T.
(08-20-2014)
"Thank you very much for contacting me. Excellent customer service! I
Even had a call answered by your representative Richard last night after hours and
he was very helpful.
I was preparing a quote for a customer so I needed to total everything. I saved
the order to my wish list on your site so that when I'm ready to place my order
I can go right in. I am waiting for customer approval right now. Thanks again for
your help and hopefully I will be placing my order soon. "

sure I got the correct amount for shipping and tax so that my accounts payable could
place the order.
Thank you for the excellent service."

company."

Received my order and they are very very nice! They're perfect! My little sister

Again, thank you for the great service! If you get to North Carolina, near Camp
Lejeune, you're welcome to visit and stay with me."
- John R.
(06-16-2014)
"Thanks Richard.
I watched some of your videos last night. I don't think anyone knows more about
doors than you. Your videos helped me connect the dots on things I never really
understood about commercial doors and i thank you for making them very good job."
- Richard P.

"By the way, I'm a fan of your Youtube series. There's a huge lack of
general knowledge in the finish hardware business. Seems every job I get I get doors
spec'd with hardware that just does not work for the intended application. Good
to see guys that care about what they're doing."
- Scott R.
(12-11-2013)
"Richard,
That's great. I've switched out all the hardware on this entry door from Polished
Brass to Rustic Dark Bronze finish and just need these pieces to complete it. If
these are avail in that type of finish that would be better, but oil rubbed would
work. I will need to make this a custom order to fit the door sizes (its a double
entry door). What do I need to do to get these ordered?
BTW - I really appreciate all your videos on youtube. They're very helpful!"
- Bob N.

"Rich,
Just a note of thanks for the prompt and speedy fulfillment of our order. The part
is already installed and works as expected. We especially appreciate your efforts
to have this order delivered next day. In the past, "next day" with some companies
meant "next week", but the cost was "next day" So, kudos to all of you and your
company! Best wishes."

"Hi Rich,
I wanted to thank you for the great service. It's been a pleasure to deal with Architectural
Builders Supply.
P.S. I installed the new, longer door stop this morning and it totally solves the
problem of the door hitting the large picture frame on the wall. Thank you also
for the unbeatable price."

"Rich, I was very pleasantly surprised when UPS showed up Tuesday evening
with my order. Thank you for getting the order delivered in a timely manner. It's
nice to know that customer service is alive and well at your company. I called the
customer and he is very happy that the installation will take place today. Once
again I thank you for your prompt intervention and service." - Mike C.
(04-06-2013)
"Amy, I appreciate the time and energy you and Richard put in to help
me with this small order. To spent this amount of time on an order this small indicates
you are dedicated employees and it is refreshing to see in the business world today.
Having worked in Q.C. Eng. for Micro Switch Div. of Honeywell and spent a lot of
time with customers for many years I have a greater appreciation for good customer
service. Thank you." - Ralph B.
(03-21-2013)
"My order arrived safe and sound yesterday. I deal with a lot of suppliers
and needed to take a moment to tell you that your customer service is second to
none in my experience. This was a simple order for some basic hardware- I can't
even tell you why I am so impressed but I am. Richard was a pleasure to deal with
on the phone and I felt that both he and your company deserved a pat on the back." - Jim F.
(12-13-2012)
"Finished!
Countless ladder ascensions and measurements to make sure it was straight, centered,
not too low and not to high. A template from the Deltana would have made things
easier. So I measure exactly to make sure mortise is in exactly the right place.
I drill, screw it in. I mark the hole and start to chisel the half circle out and
there was a NAIL in the header. If I were a 32nt off, the common nail head would
have been where the hole for the bolt goes. Who would think to look?
Thanks for you answers to my too many questions. Your company was excellent to deal
with."
- Tony N.
(10-08-2012)
"Rich,
You are the best! I cant tell you how much I value your efforts & going to bat to
make this happen. I will definitely be coming to you for more materials in the future
– but with much better planning. J
Thank you so much for jumping through these flaming hoops for us.
I / We sincerely appreciate it!!"
- Mike G.
(08-10-2012)
"Richard, the door looks excellent! I expected a much more modest glass,
but it looks much better than in the picture. The door is still waiting to be stained
and installed. It is only then will we be able to appreciate its full splendor :-)
Thank you so much for impeccable execution! I will not need any entry doors in the
near future, but will certainly recommend your business to other people!"

"I want you to know that I searched the internet for a quality company.
I found that your company was the lowest in cost due to free shipping. When your
client is on a very tight budget it really helps. I also like the way you receive
orders and process them ASAP. You have a great company and since I am an architect
I will highly recommend you."
- Bud D.
