Here’s What People Are Saying
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware for as long as I can remember! The reason I purchase from them is easy – great customer service. I call and they come. I just point out what I want and Ron does the rest. And, then there’s Becky who helps me with just about everything else. She is a great source of information and will help me order things “just like that”! The sales reps work to find the product that you need and the installers work almost unnoticed. And they clean up behind themselves too. What a treat! In other words, when we need doors or door products, we check with Seven Oaks first.”
“From my experience with Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware, I discovered first class workmanship. The installers were very professional and took pride in their work. Thank you Seven Oaks. I will recommend you to my church friends.”
“I would recommend Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware because they provide quality service at a good price. They have good knowledge of their products. I really enjoy working with Phillip Floyd.“
Darwin Thoune, Buncombe County General Services
“Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware gave us what we asked for. They have great customer service and quick response.”
Victor McBryde, Bradley Constuction, Inc.
“Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware will stay with the job until the customer is satisfied. They are reliable and reasonable! We have had two other door companies work for us and you are now the only one we will call!”
Terry Smith, Food Lion
“I would recommend Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware because of their quality work. They offer quality products and installation.”
Deborah Walker, Uwharrie Forest
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware for the four years that I have been at Bladen County Hospital. I purchase from them because they do a good job installing doors and hardware.”
Wallace Stevens, Bladen County Hospital
“We started buying from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware right after we moved into the new hospital in 1997. They had the locksets, both mechanical and electronic, and also provided the training that we needed. Their over all good service is the reason that we are still customers. Becky Preslar and Ned Russell are the folks that we depend on the most and they have never let us down.”
Jack Edwards, Marion County Medical Center
“The reason I purchase from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware is because of the personalized assistance I receive from Sue Loy, the availability of the product, and the quality of service. Sue is always there to help, no matter how large or small the purchase. The level of assistance is outstanding.”
Tommy Herndon, Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority
Rufus Mahaffey, Jr.
"I would like to take the time to thank you and all of your staff for the great job they do for us all the time. I have never asked for any job to be done by your staff at our facility at anytime that was not completed to our highest standards. I always say prices will get you in the door, but service will keep you there. Robert came by to measure some hardware for an upgrade to a pair of doors in the heart center and I told him about a problem I was having with an electric door handle assembly in another area. He offered to look at it and see if he could help. I had also called Central Security here to work on the problem because it is tied to our Galaxy Security System. Between the three of us (along with Heath on the phone) we got this very important assembly working again. I know that he had other stops to make that day, but he still took the time to help. You can always tell what type a company you are dealing with by the pride their staff takes in everything they do. You have a great staff which makes for a great company. Thanks again to all of your staff for the hard work they do daily. It is greatly appreciated!"
Scott Efird
“Seven Oaks doors and hardware comes highly recommended. The reputation they have in our community is excellent. The church sanctuary doors at Philadelphia Baptist Church were in need of repair because they were over 50 years old. I contacted Ed Shimpock with Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware. He came out and gave us a quote which was highly competitive. We agreed on a price and they came out and started the work. They were on time and did a terrific job installing our new doors, cleaning up, and making sure the project was 100% complete and in great shape when they left. We are extremely happy and satisfied with the work from the installers at Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware. We at Philadelphia Baptist Church would highly recommend their services to other folks.”
Danny Storm
“Storm Technologies, Inc. selected Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware, Inc. for the quick response and follow up to our request for proposal to replace our door hardware on all of our doors.”
“We would highly recommend Ed Shimpock and TEAM as they delivered what they proposed on schedule and followed up to make sure we were satisfied with the service and products installed.”
Glenn Sims
“My history started with Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware 27 years ago when I was employed with the Richmond County Schools. I met Ed Shimpock who was our Seven Oaks rep back then. He had a professional and caring attitude about his customers and he stood behind the quality of his products. He was very active in the Public School Maintenance Association and his involvement in this organization demonstrated his ethical standards and commitment to his customers. Over the years we became friends and our partnership developed so when I came to Richmond Community College, I brought Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware with me. Ned Russell became my sales rep and the great customer service and quality products never missed a beat. Also, Seven Oaks supports the ACCFO organization of Community Colleges and contributes to its success. This company has been a cornerstone in my hardware purchases over the years and I can’t imagine not doing business with this great organization.”
Mike Isenhour
“I purchase from Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware because of the service, dependability, knowledge and expertise of their sales representatives and installers. Anytime we have problems with doors, hardware, or toilet partitions, we ask our Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware representative to come and look at it. They always solve our problems, supply the correct products and do a very accurate and clean installation. Their expertise makes my job go so much easier. Their installers are particularly special because they take so much care in doing the job right the first time. One other thing that makes them so great is they always clean up after the job, which is the sign of a true professional.”
Jim Reuter
“The first Seven Oaks rep I met was Sue Loy in 1997. We walked through the school checking various doors in need of professional help. A short time later, we had new doors and new hardware. Seven Oaks was awarded the contract to install the Bright Blue Access Control system at our Nashville Elementary School. They ensured that the product was properly installed, fully functioning, and the right people were properly trained before turning over the final product. But more notable, they called back several times to make sure everything was working properly. Seven Oaks stands behind their products and installers. They truly care about their customers satisfaction.”
Conelious Middleton
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware for four years. They are the best sales, service and installation guys out there. They do great work and it makes my job easy when working with them.”
Charles Tapp
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware the entire 22 years I have been at the Hoke County Board of Education. I have found some products out there that are almost impossible to find, but somehow they always find just what we need when we need it the most. That type of relationship is hard to come by these days. Their pricing is also great. We are just completing a project at our high school media center that required some major door hardware, and there was Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware to the rescue again with what we needed and on time, and within our budget numbers. That is just one of the many examples of the great working relationship we have with Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware. Thanks for the past years together!”
Doug Barbee
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware for around 23 years. I purchase from them because we receive quick service with top of the line products. If for some reason either company makes a mistake, Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware will be the first to make sure our customers are satisfied. We at Wayne Dalton Door of Charlotte appreciate the quick and friendly service they provide.”
Mike Hartmann
“My experience with door hardware has been bad in the past. Our facility is nine years old and we have added buildings as recently as last year. Multiple contractors have installed my new construction and they usually subcontract the installation. I ended up with ill-fitted doors, cross threaded screws, closers that didn’t work and many other problems too numerous to mention. I have had Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware re-do my cafeteria doors (the most used doors in the school). They have replaced electronic lock designs to fix poorly designed hardware. They have worked on at least 10 sets of other doors over the last 5 years. I’m presently getting a quote to add locks to some swinging doors into a kitchen to keep students out after school. I believe the “aftermarket” work is a different animal than new construction. You must use existing frames and doors and make it function properly and have it stand up in abusive situations. Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware has installers that are excellent. We have had no problems with any door work they have done.”
Ross Stokes
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware forever! I use them on a regular basis. I appreciate the personal relationships they have built with our company, as well as the quality and attention to detail they give us. I always know that if something is not correct with my order, they will do whatever is necessary to make the proper adjustments to get it right. We appreciate the fact that they are always reliable and accommodating.”
Ronald Joyce
“On behalf of Chatham Charter School, I’d like to give a brief recommendation on “Access Control” by Seven Oaks. Before we had Access Control, we always had one door unlocked at the main office areas so parents could come in to sign in/out their children. The problem was that the reception area was not always covered so we had parents going straight to classrooms and if the general public came in they looked around until they saw someone. Our outer doors were expensive to key and staff members did not have a master. This created a problem of doors being “propped” open during the day and sometimes all night. The keyless system was installed in 2-3 days and has solved the above problems. The on-line system allows me to add who I need to have card access and can be removed immediately if a card is lost or stolen. I also can control all doors and lock and unlock them as needed, see who has entered and what time. Our school is in total lockdown status during the student day. Parents/visitors buzz in, in order to gain access inside so we know who is coming in at all times. This has been a very good investment for our school.”
Billy Hurdt
“They have always delivered supplies in a timely manner. Heath and Rob have lived up to their reputation for installing doors and hardware. Phillip is an excellent salesman and has received a lot of Cleveland County School’s money. Ha, Ha! The first time I met Ed Shimpock, he spilled tea all over the table at Quincy’s steak house. But he has always served us well.”
Creig Guinn
“Approximately 20 years ago, Eddie Shimpock took me under his wing and guided me in the direction that Kershaw County School District needed to be going. His knowledge and experience was very helpful to me and I leaned on him hard. The rest of his staff must have been trained by him, because they care too. I have relied on the opinions of several employees of Seven Oaks, especially my friend, Ned Russell and have not been steered wrong. To me that is what support and friendship from a dealer is all about. Because of the hard work all employees in the office and on the road do, I can rest easy that my job is done right. Thanks for all ya’ll do.”
David Harless
“Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware gives supreme customer service and they always meet my door and hardware needs. They answer my questions in a knowledgeable manner, having confidence in their products and service. They are the pinnacle of professionalism. I look forward to continuing to do business with Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware.”
Harold Wycoff
“From Eddie down to the installers Seven Oaks has been a blessing to work with. I can call and tell Eddie what I have in mind and he puts it together for me in a timely manner. A lot of the times he has a better way in mind that actually saves us some money which we all need to think about now days. All in all I would say Seven Oaks still looks out for all those in facility maintenance on an individual basis. Keep up the great work Seven Oaks and Gods blessings to you all. ”
Jerry Brewington
“I have worked with Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware and Mr. Ed Shimpock for over fifteen years. I really enjoy how this company makes me feel good as a customer. Whenever I call for help, some one friendly is always there to help. I think that the leadership of this company really stands out. I have called on Ed several times over the years and he always responds very quickly. I have learned a lot from Ed over the years about doors and hardware. This had a lot to do with my career. I now hold the position as General Maintenance Supervisor for Cumberland County Schools. Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware is a very good company, and I really enjoy working with them.”
Keith Burr
“I purchase from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware because they have excellent product quality and world class customer service. They have been instrumental in helping us achieve deadlines and supply products for federal prisons, school systems, nursing homes, hospitals and manufacturing facilities. Their service department is always ready to help whenever additional technical expertise is required.”
Keith Merchant
“I have been purchasing from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware for 11 years. They are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Sue Loy and Becky Preslar have always been helpful, capable and understanding with all of my hardware needs.”
Larry King
“The important parts of a company to me are honesty, the service they provide and having a salesperson that is interested in my needs. I can truly say that Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware meets each of these every day and I appreciate the personalized attention from everyone associated with their company. They care about my business and know that is important to the overall success of Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware. I have purchased doors, hardware, and toilet partitions over the past 9 years with great service and timely delivery. If there were problems, they were resolved quickly. I recently purchased a Schlage Electronics door access control system with outstanding support and service from everyone to make the system operational. Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware stands behind what they sell and provides whatever is needed to satisfy the customer.”
Larry Royster
“I’ve have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware for seven years. I like the fact that they maintain a working knowledge of the needs of the schools I service, which allows me to complete my job tasks quickly and efficiently. Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware provides professional and high quality workmanship when they do door and hardware installations for us. They seem to always have the answers to the questions and problems that I encounter. The quality of the products and the professionalism of the sales representatives that I have dealt with have been outstanding.”
Marc Clark
“I have found them to be courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and a reliable sales team, as well as maintaining a high quality product line. They have always provided us with timely service, whether it’s a quote, installation or hands-on assistance with our very own maintenance staff. I personally consider our product specialist, Robert Parrish, not just another salesperson, but a true friend.”
Mark McLamb
“The reason I purchase from Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware is because when you are with a school system, money is always an issue. Seven Oaks has always been in good competition with other companies, but their service, quick response time, timely completion of jobs, and always a job well done, has made them stand out. For the most part I have always dealt with Ed Shimpock. He has always been there for me and the school system with any problem that we have had. Seven Oaks uses only top quality doors and hardware which in a large school system, cuts way down on repairs. If there is a problem, corrections are quickly made. Seven Oaks is definitely a plus for us!”
Mitch Anderson
“I have been a customer of Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware for the last 20 years. They have been very good through the years about giving the best available products for the best price. They are also very pleasant, kind and courteous to do business with Becky, David and Eddie are genuinely concerned with their customers and the problems they have. That combination of product and ethics has made Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware what it is today, a leader in its field of expertise.”
Richard Brothers
“I have purchased from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware for the entire 5 years I have been with the college. Phillip Floyd, my area sales representative has been very instrumental in helping me learn the lock and door industry. The support staff at the office is second to none and is always willing to go the extra mile to answer questions, provide quotes and chase down shipments. They are committed to providing professional installations, accurate quote data, and they stand behind their work. I can always count on Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware providing me with the best application suggestions at the best price.”
Ron Mack
“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 sales people 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.”
Sam Westmoreland
“I purchase from Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware because of the excellent quality of their doors, hardware, and locks. I have always received great, prompt, and courteous service.”
Sharon Bard
“I have purchased from Seven Oaks Doors & hardware since 1995 and the university worked with them prior to that. I purchase from them because of the dependable products, dependable service and trusting employees. We have such a large operation and I need a very knowledgeable company to understand the importance of the safety and security of the college campus. I can count on Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware to always have a solution for us.”
