As the Monday after Thanksgiving dawns and Cyber Monday sales begin to flood inboxes, we find ourselves reflecting on what truly matters: the relationships we’ve built and the trust our clients have placed in us.
This is a time of gratitude, not just for the opportunities to serve but for the shared purpose of creating safer, more functional spaces—especially in schools.
At Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware, our mission has always been about more than just delivering premium doors and hardware. It’s about building partnerships that strengthen communities, enhance learning environments, and make a real difference. We’re especially thankful for testimonials like the one from Ron Mack of Elkin City Schools, which remind us why we do what we do.
“I have purchased from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware as long as they have been in business. I purchase from them because they have friendly salespeople inside the office and out in the field. They also have a great installation crew. We have three schools in our system; therefore, we don’t purchase that much, and I feel we are treated the same, if not better than if we purchased thousands of dollars each year. Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware supports our Maintenance Association each year through district meetings and the conventions and workshops. They won a bid on some toilet partitions several years ago, which included installation. They made the job go as smoothly as possible without any problems. I appreciate Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware for making my job a little easier.”
Ron’s words capture the essence of our work. Whether retrofitting doors to enhance safety, installing partitions to improve functionality, or supporting educational events, we aim to ensure every project is seamless and every client feels valued—regardless of the size of their system or budget.
Retrofitting for a Better Tomorrow
One of our key focus areas is retrofitting doors and hardware for schools. It’s a specialized service that balances aesthetics, durability, and, most importantly, safety. Retrofitting allows schools to upgrade older doors and systems to meet modern security and accessibility standards without undergoing costly full replacements.
This process is particularly meaningful to us because it directly impacts the safety and experience of students and staff. Schools are more than buildings—they’re places where futures are shaped. By retrofitting doors and hardware, we help create environments that foster peace of mind and productivity.
Cyber Monday and a Different Kind of Value
On Cyber Monday, when everyone is hunting for the best deals online, we want to highlight a different kind of value—the value of trust, reliability, and expertise. While discounts may come and go, the peace of mind that comes with knowing your school is outfitted with high-quality, expertly installed doors and hardware is priceless.
The work we do to retrofit schools isn’t about a quick sale; it’s about long-term investment in safety and functionality. Schools like Elkin City Schools remind us of the importance of this commitment. Their trust in us to make their maintenance needs easier and their spaces better is something we never take for granted.
Thank You to Our Clients
To all our clients, from small school systems like Elkin City Schools to larger organizations, we extend our deepest thanks. Your partnerships are the reason we’ve been able to serve the Carolinas and South-Central Virginia for over three decades.
This Cyber Monday, while deals dominate the headlines, we encourage everyone to reflect on the investments that truly matter. Whether it’s ensuring a school system’s safety or supporting its mission through retrofitting projects, we’re proud to play a part in building better communities.
From all of us at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware, thank you for your trust, your loyalty, and your shared commitment to creating safer, stronger spaces. Here’s to another year of working together to make a difference. Let us know how we can serve you today!
