Report
I called first thing in the morning after an attempted break in. Mark was very kind and understanding about the incident and attended as soon as he could that afternoon. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and reassured us that the new lock would not only act as a deterrent to any prospective thieves but would be harder to break in to. It was nice to deal with a friendly, calm person after such a worrying incident.
