I actually have the door armor. Just be aware that the installers they recommend are all shady. I asked the guy the price. The guy names a price but says that I live outside his sales territory. So, I call another installer in the correct sales territory. The second guy then names a price DOUBLE that named by the first guy. I asked him why did he name a price double that of another installer. He says that it just looked like I could afford it. Ugh....bnc wrote:That door jamb armor looks like a good product. Although, it would be really cool to have gunsafe doors all around the house.
So, then I go and buy it to install myself. The problem is, I am NOT a handyman, so it LOOKED LIKE I installed it myself. Ugh....
If you're a handyman, go for it. Otherwise, I'd recommend that you skip it.
I also installed ballistic glass myself. Again, because of shady contractors. Recently, I hired some roofers. Before I paid them, I asked if I would get a warranty. He said, "yes." However, after the work was done, I wasn't home, so I paid him with a check in the mail box. Guess what, after the work was done, he refused to give me a warranty. Last week, I asked a guy to build me a fence. He quotes $4000. He calls the next day and says that the fence was going to cost a bit more due to "sales tax." I said, "ok." He comes back a couple days later and says that he needed to tell me that there might be construction cost increases in the middle of the project. I asked him and he said that it might cost over $5500, but he'll try to get it done for under $4000. But didn't you just tell me that it was a TOTAL of $4000? How come the price keeps increasing? I mean, what good is a quoted price if it is not really the quoted price?! I HATE the old bait and switch. Why would he say such a thing?! He then admits that he increased the price because it looked like "I could afford it." I told him that it looked like he was dishonest and told him to get lost. Why are construction contractors always shady?!
