Pumpkin Carvings

  

My favorite part of Halloween is Jack-o-lanterns. I am amazed at the creativity some folks have for carving them. We recently had a pumpkin carving contest and NONE of them looked like any of these.

 

 

 

It is always enjoyable to see young children dress up and "Trick or Treat" in the neighborhood. Our neighborhood actually has a community bonfire and cookout for all the "Trick or Treaters" to enjoy.

Speaking of "Trick or Treat", we at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware will always "Treat" you special. Only because of you, our customers and friends, are we successful. We will pull every "Trick" we have out of our bag to make sure your job runs smoothly and that you get exactly what you want every time. We value each of you and your business. I hope the Goblins find lots of candy at your house and you create a lot of good memories for them. Have fun!!

I appreciate you!

 From schools and healthcare facilities, to sports arenas, government buildings and other commercial settings, LCN closers are the toughest, smoothest and most reliable door closers in the industry. The LCN 4040 set the standard as the most flexible heavy duty closer designed for rugged high traffic areas. LCN's 4040XP enhances what the standard 4040 already provided. Its non-handed design allows for installation on almost any building or room opening. You ask, what is XP? Simply put, eXtra Protection for real world applications. The new V-shield seal allows for 20% longer life expectancy. The load bearing capacity is increased by 44%, the XP comes with the strongest pinion ever, the widest bearing ever and stronger pinion teeth than ever before. The 4040XP sets the new industry standard with reliability, longevity and value with a beefier design and extraordinary performance testing that goes far beyond industry requirements.
