"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 overall 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."
