Thanks for...!!!
As I was thinking of what to write this month, I remember many things my father taught me about being thankful.  When I was much younger and lived at home with my parents, I never realized when my dad and mom struggled financially.  We were a blessed family and I always felt loved through any difficult times they may have been experiencing.  They taught me and my two younger sisters to always be thankful for whatever we had. On Thanksgiving Day we were always together and dad always prayed and gave thanks for what God had blessed us with that year.  Because he taught me to be thankful, I try to always give thanks to friends and family at every opportunity I can.  Now we are approaching another Thanksgiving season and I thank you, our customers and friends. You have blessed Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware for many years.  We are not just a company.  We are a group of families.  We are moms, dads, children and grandchildren, who are thankful that you have chosen to do business with us.  Now at Thanksgiving it brings us great joy to say Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! We are very thankful for all of you!!

I appreciate you!

After

 

We removed the existing wood jamb and doors and installed a new hollow metal transom frame with a pair of six panel hollow metal doors.  The hardware is standard 4-1/2" hinges with Von Duprin surface vertical rod exits with cylinder dogging.  We also installed LCN 4111 H Cush closers to stop and hold doors open if needed.
