Does anyone have experience with security door installers?

Am currently looking at a business that does security door installations.
Positives:
- Strong team / culture
- Full staffed w/ management, owner is focused on strategy
- Clean financials
- Good reputation

Negatives
- DTC
- Expensive (potentially discretionary) product
- Project-based
- Installers not manufacturers


I'm particularly concerned about scalability Would love to chat with anyone who can provide advice!

I'm primarily in residential doors. On the residential side there are a number of products being pushed out there now around adding security to entry doors, with varying success. Shoot me a PM with any questions you may have.

You are the very first person to comment on Security Door Installers on Searchfunder. Congratulations! We had a break-in at my condo last night, so I know at least one potential customer for you. :-)
