The problem is follow up support and warranty support is completely non-existent. There was a screw left out of the handle on initial installation causing it to loosen pretty quickly. We chased them on the phone for a couple of weeks and I finally just fixed it myself. Now the lock has broken and we've been chasing them for 3 weeks with no luck. They won't return calls, never answer their phone. I can't fix this one myself. I at least am going to have to have parts. This is a security issue at this point. We can't just ignore it. I will never do business with this outfit again.
Addendum 9/8/2015: Perhaps as a result of my negative review, the proprietor personally came to my house and resolved the problem the next business day and he was contrite. I'll give him credit for that. I won't change anything I said originally, but I will recognize that this is a Mom & Pop operation and they don't have a big staff. That's part of the reason I chose them. I didn't want to deal with a big national chain, and wouldn't have gotten better service from any of them. Given the fact that they were eventually responsive, and given the fact that I still consider the door to be a high quality product, I'll change my overall score from a D to a C. I can't do much better than that. The fact is it did take three weeks to replace a lock on a door from a local supplier, and prospective customers need to know that.

To give you some background, there are four people in our household -- myself, my wife and our two kids, and we have three cats. Our home is a 1960s style ranch home with one level and a finished basement. From the beginning the sales representative went above and beyond our expectations which included consistent communication and a thorough walk-through of our home. He didn't hesitate to answer all of the questions we had during the walk-through, and in the end we decided that our security system would consist of 1 monitored smoke/carbon monoxide alarm, 1 glass break sensor, 1 motion sensor, 7 window sensors, 3 door sensor and a touchscreen control panel. The package we selected was the "Ideal" package with a few additions based on the layout of our home. Our contract is for 36 months, which is much easier to digest than the 60-month contracts that other security companies try to push. Here's where things got a little bumpy. After signing the contract (the sales representative met me at work which was awesome), I waited for several days to be contacted by an installation coordinator. It turns out that my phone number was incorrectly entered in their system, and after I personally reached out to Bates Security to inquire about the installation I was finally contacted by their installation coordinator to set up a date and time for installation. A day or so prior to the installation I received another call where the installation coordinator asked if it would be okay to move the installation from the morning (~8:30AM) to later in the afternoon (~1:00PM) because there parts that UPS hadn't delivered yet. This wasn't a big deal because I was working from home the entire day. The installers were a little late (~30 minutes), but I was fine with it because they called beforehand to let me know. The entire installation process took approximately 2 hours, and at the end of it I was given a brief, but adequate demonstration of how to use the system. One last note, I found an offer on my employer's internal website that mentioned an offer (with 2 months of free service) that was no longer valid. I found this offer after I had signed my contract and brought this to my sales representative's attention. He apologized and explained that it was no longer valid. Overall, I would recommend Bates Security, but would suggest some business process changes on the back end to improve their service in general. If Bates Security has any control over it, I would also suggest improving the user interface of their app, as it's a bit clunky and not as intuitive as I had hoped. That being said, I highly appreciate the frequent communication throughout the entire process -- from sales to installation, and look forward to recommending Bates Security to friends and family in the Lexington area.

FAQs for security door installation projects in Lexington, KY
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
