"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."
"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."
“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.” 
"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."
"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. "
“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.”
“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.” 
“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.”
“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.”
"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.”
“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.”
"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!"

“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.”
“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.”
“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.” 
“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.”
