Summertime

 

When I think of Summertime, I think of the good times with family and friends when we get out on the porch or backyard and just hang out. We are usually having some kind of food or refreshing drink to pass the time away. Just the other day, I especially enjoyed time with my daughter and grandkids along with my wife as we all sat around the table and strung green beans, and shelled butterbeans and peas. Just simple things in life that only occur in the Summertime. I'm sure you have your favorites also. 


Summertime here at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware is a very hectic and busy time. Many of our customers are "under the gun" to have their jobs filled and installed before school opens. We strive to accommodate everyone along with all the rest of the jobs that we are blessed with. Thank you for making our summer times special. Because of you, our customers, we are able to have our jobs and thus take vacations and spend those enjoyable times with our families. Have fun for the rest of your summer and remember to "Keep Smiling"!

I appreciate you,

Ed Shimpock, AHC, VP, General  Manager

Philadelphia Baptist Church

"Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware comes highly recommended. The reputation they have in our community is excellent.  The church sanctuary doors at Philadelphia Baptist Church were in need of repair because they were over 50 years old. I contacted Ed Shimpock with Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware. He came out and gave us a quote which was highly competitive. We agreed on a price (which included Special-Lite tube framing, SL18 doors along with Von Duprin concealed cable exit devices and all the woodwork trim) and they came out and started the work. They were on time and did a terrific job installing our new doors, cleaning up, and making sure the project was 100% complete and in great shape when they left. We are extremely happy and satisfied with the work from the installers at Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware. We at Philadelphia Baptist Church would highly recommend their services to other folks."

The Hinge Doctor 


The Hinge Doctor is an incredible, time saving tool that can repair sagging doors in seconds.

The HA1 model, for 4.5"x 4.5" commercial butt hinges, is designed to adjust new, worn, or improperly adjusted hinges that may cause doors to sag or drag. Simply, slip the tool over the top door hinge and open the door. The door hinge begins to bind while the tool is in place. Open the door 3-4 inches past the point where it binds against the tool and then remove the tool from the hinge, check the door and repeat if necessary.

Also available is the HA3 model is for 5"x 5" ball bearing commercial hinges and the HA4 model, which is for institutional hinges.
