I immediately called Elite Lock and Key. Sarah and her team are awesome. My call was answered right away and a locksmith was dispatched to our home. He arrived within the estimated time they provided and had our door open within 60 seconds (literally). My family and I were able to go about our day and learned a valuable lesson in the process (lock your door from the outside with your keys). I would highly recommend Elite Lock & Key if you ever need a locksmith.

Unbeknownst to us, the previous installer did not secure the railing to a stud and merely screwed it in to the drywall. The railing and bolts fell out. The previous installer would not return to fix the faulty installation without charging additional service fees. We contacted Angie's List and obtained a list of other providers to find someone else to repair our garage door opener. We did not want to give more money to a company that would not stand by its original work. We contacted J. W. Rodgers Garage Door and explained our dilemma. The railing was hanging and our car was inside of the garage! The lady who answered the phone was friendly and immediately offered to try to help us. She contacted a service representative who arrived within a couple of hours, assessed the job and completed the repair within 45 minutes. He may have also helped us to avoid a future problem because he noticed that reinforcement had not been attached to the garage door as it should have been and repaired it, too. We are so thankful for the responsiveness and professionalism from this company. We highly recommend them!

However, we were pleased to get the Angie's members discount. The installation appeared to be completed without problems. The unit works well and was very quiet for a couple of months. After about 2 1/2 months, the railing that was attached to the wall above the garage door pulled completely out. The bolts that had been supporting the railing fell to the floor. I immediately called Precision Garage Doors and informed then of the problem. They indicated that the warranty on the labor was only covered for 30 days and stated that there would be a service charge of approximately $50 to come out to evaluate the problem. I explained that the problem was that the bolts had not been screwed into a stud but had only been secured into the drywall when they did the initial installation and protested that this was faulty installation. There is nothing wrong with the garage door opener. The company rep stated that the warranty had expired and that there would still be a service charge. I indicated that I would not pay them more to do a job that was not done correctly in the first place. I would definitely not recommend this company to anyone.

They stated that they could order the motor to replace it and that they could have a new motor installed for ~500. They charge by the hour for labor and he stated that since he never installed one, I would in essence need to pay by the hour for their company's learning curve. I ended up purchasing a brand new unit and had it installed for ~ half the cost of the repair estimate from a different company. The repairman took my unit apart and did not put it back together because he was so confident that he would return after giving the estimate.

"People don’t plan to have their water pipe burst. Seeing as it was -10 degrees today it’s no surprise ours did, despite every effort to make sure the water in the pipes were moving. I was at a doctors appt and walked in to water bursting out of the kitchen ceiling in buckets! My mother was looking where to turn off the main water with no success. When I got to it, water had been fishing for over 30 minutes! Oh, did I mention this occurred around noon today, which happens to be a Friday? My insurance said to see if I could get a plumber here today to expose the burst, take a pic to prove it’s due to a frozen pipe, then fix it. Of course I went straight to Angie’s List and saw this company was the highest rated near me and had great reviews. I called and spoke to the owner, Robert, and explained our situation. He was excellent! Knowing mine wasn’t the only pipe that burst, during this weather, I had no idea what their availability was. In spite of many similar issues, he made sure his guys could come over this afternoon. He was concerned about me having to wait for a water mitigation crew to come out and said he could take care of that too. Unfortunately, we’d already booked one with our insurance, who are coming out tomorrow. The guys came and they were WONDERFUL!!!! They went right to work, cutting open the drywall surrounding the bursted pipe. Took pictures for me so I could send it to my insurance company and fixed it in no time. They were perfect gentlemen. It didn’t take long to see how kind, down to earth, professional and mindful of my concerns. Ya know how uncomfortable it can be not knowing who is coming in your home. I felt so comfortable with them. Wound up joking around with them as though I’d known them for years. The two guys who came were Ivan Perez and E’Nedino Diaz. Not only did they fix the reason for which they came, they even fixed a few issues we had in our upstairs bathroom. They did so professionally and efficiently. I would have no hesitation recommending them to others. To me they were angels with their wings and halo’s hidden. ?"

FAQs for security door installation projects in Linthicum, MD
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.
