Beware of Goldy Locks

by webman562 at Citysearch

We hired a Goldy Locks Locks 3 times; the first was to change out locks in our new office. We had 5 locks installed - it took the them less then a day and the bill was over $2,500.00. Because they were a customer I didn?t want to question the invoice but I knew I could have purchased same locks for under $100 each. Goldy Locks charged us over $250 per hour for a kid to install a few locks.

The second time we hired Goldy Locks we wanted to install a camera system in our building. Again we used them because they were a customer and again we were charged 3 to 4 times what we could have purchased the same product from elsewhere. The cameras Goldy Locks Inc sold us for $400.00 we could have purchased from most other vendors for $125.00. We were changed $4,000.00 for a job that another companies would have had done for $1,000 to $1,500 tops. But again, I did not say anything because they were a customer.

The third job we called Goldy Locks was for buzzer for our front door. The lock they installed was very cheep and broke the first week. I checked the Internet and found the same unit for $120.00. It took their kid about 2 hours to install (mainly because he looked like he didn?t know what he was doing. So what did Goldy Locks charge us for this fine job? $1,300.00 I guess their hourly rate for a kid to play around for 2 hours is $550.00 per hour.

• Pros: none
• Cons: high priced, poor work, cheep parts.
