Hello all

Right bought a set of slam lock plate kits for my vivaro.

Two months on and one of the plates is rusting that has a life time warranty. so I call company that I got them from to be told. no probs send it back we will look at it if faulty will send me a new one out. Told them that how is this possible / fair. As if I remove it my vans side door will not close / be secure. Basically told after that if I don't send it back first what they want do anything.

Can anyone give me any advice on fighting this.

Cheers
 
Did you go for the ones with the handle or the flush plates?, my mates ones had a bit of milky white tarnish after about a year but never any signs of red rust :(, maybe when installed they got contaminated with a tool that was just steel and this has caused the rust in that area?. I would send them a picture. Sorry to hear about this.
 
Tried trading standards who said I have to give them the chance to put it right even if it is unrealistic what they request. Defo rust. At first I mistakenly called another company that supply theses. they looked into it and said they accept there has been a bad batch that hasn't been coated properly. And was willing to send me another out but couldn't find much order. I have told the company I order them from this after they refused but was basically told tuff.
 
Well do us all a favour and at least tell us who this company is, then no one else will fall foul.

Thought these things were made from stainless anyway? Whats all the tosh about not being coated properly?
 
If try and ask them what u are supposed to do as imagine your insurance will be invalid if removed can they not send you a replacement and then fit this before returning the faulty one,
Alternately get a new one and take the old damaged ones back with the new receipt!
 
Had some of there deadlocks fitted to my van lock lasted a month and barrel fell out. Had to break in to the van. Sent the lock off to garrison to be told a pile of dog poo if I wanted the lock replaced it was going to cost me £50 for a new lock told them to stuff it.
 
So would garrison not send you out a new pair, then you change them over that day, send back the old ones and they credit you when they receive them and they see that they're faulty?
 
You could get them legally on a product being Miss sold and not fit for purpose, they quite clearly per port the product to be of a stanless steel type, which implies that the product is corrosion resistant. A lawyer would eat this for breakfast :)
 
Good evening.

I am aware of comments being made on an electrical forum.

To state we are crooks is liable.

I will suggest that false comments are
Deleted or we will take further action.


If you have any further comments please feel free to email us.

Why not take them to a small claims court, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on ;). I would but then it helps having a best mate that's a barrister :)
 
he obviously browses to know what's been said.
tbh, I think you're the fool though. I'd have had a replacement from them by now and reported to trading standards. as I said this afternoon in another post, I always complain if something isn't right. it's your right as a consumer, and the law is there to protect you.
 
I gave up on my lock on the end. Was cheaper to get a new lock from else were then mess about with them. Still got the emails and photos
Took weeks to here back from them after sending the damaged unit back

Hi,

The forum states comments of a liable nature.

The customers concerned have been given fair chance in accordance with our terms and conditions to send the faulty items back.

1 Lock has been drilled out and will require replacing, not our fault if he drills it. and the other I have stated we can repair/replace if he sends it back.

Not a lot we can do if customers want to take keyboard to a forum.

We sell, literally thousands of locks annually and as a MLA approved company we have a strict policy in place for customer satisfaction.

We have had nothing in writing to say we are at fault.

I therefore see the case closed.

If a customer wants to chat to TS they have every right to do so.

Thanks ill be sure to advise anyone I know of these products and the customer device offered
 
So would garrison not send you out a new pair, then you change them over that day, send back the old ones and they credit you when they receive them and they see that they're faulty?

No I asked them that but not willing to do it. Want me to remove rusting one and send back so he could look at it before sending me one out. Total d/ck.
 
Sound like a right bunch of muppets*

Like the way instead of coming on here trying to sort things out (good customer service) they take the tough approach...... That'll earn them no end of friends.

We're in the process of ordering new vans and were looking at addition protection..... Garrison are off our list!!

Sorry what I meant was you purchase a new pair, on the understanding with garrison that when they receive the faulty locks back, they credit you for the new pair you purchased. This way you then don't have the issue with leaving the van with no locks ;). Pay with credit card too as you know already they can dispute it if things go ---- up.
 
Good morning,
Firstly, I am aware of the two customers that have experienced an issue with a couple of products.
I will say, we sell thousands of locks every year and our customer service and product rate is very high indeed. If it wasn't, we would not be in business.

Just to clarify I was emailed from a member of this forum stating comments of a liable nature. This is why I am replying on an open forum.

1st customer: if you had a garrison deadlock from us it does have a warranty. If I'm correct in saying, we asked you to post it back for repinning/repair. We of course would have been happy to do this. The fact that you drilled it out once the core plug had been removed rendered it useless. We suggested to buy just the cylinder on its own. We will repin to your code free of charge and post it back.

We are more than happy to help, but if attacked with a drill, what can we do.All you needed to do was ask us how to remove it!



2nd customer:Rust on Slam handle kit. Firstly, talking to a competitor of ours will only spark a reaction and give them an opportunity to say an unjust and unfair comment. If there was a faulty batch, I'd know about it.
The outer plate is stainless steel and is obviously corrosion resistant.
The inner plate (finger aperture) is steel but galvanised to help prevent corrosion.
To manufacture this out of stainless is extremely difficult hence why these are galvanised and formed as such.
We offer free of charge a thatcham upgrade black/stainless system we spoke about on the phone, I recall the conversation, you wanted the stainless ones.
As I said to you on the phone, you can send it back for repair, replacement, if your van is not secure I would suggest fixing it shut from the inside and putting one of the old handles back on for the time being.

we would get this turned around as quick as we can for you.

As Stated in our terms and conditions, of which you accepted, items need to be returned, I know it's an inconvenience but thats what we have to do.

I will reiterate that we are happy to help, We are not on here to have an argument, but to resolve any issues a customer has.

also to reiterate, Mul t lock garrison is actually a worldwide brand owned by Assa Abloy. selling hundreds of thousands of lock systems, master suites, van lock systems, key systems literally all over the world. We own the domain name and trade as Emsecure Garrison Ltd. So as far as liable comments go, I would be very cautious to state any claims of taking a billion pound company to court.
Im sure that would eat alive any who try, have for breakfast, tie up in litigation.

Now with that reply to a silly comment, I would be happy to help out as quick as we can. I have no further input on here. Only to help resolve, give FREE valuable advice for keeping your vans secure and on the road.

i also think I read about getting a transit? As these are more secure, I'm afraid that member needs to listen to us about 2 mins to start and take the vehicle!


Rant over.... Have a good day.

Hi Richard whilst recently working in France one of my guys managed to lock the keys in the back of the van, as you do, I can attest to how good the locks are, after having to cut through the bulkhead to liberate the keys. Just a quick question, we had European road side assistance policy which covered being locked out of your vehicle, however they said that because the locks where of a modified type that they wouldn't be able to offer this service. Have they spun us a lie or is this the case with most road side assistance companies?
 
Hi all. Please keep feedback constructive and in-keeping with the forum rules to keep the thread alive.
 
Hi.

Yes, it does seem to be the case that if a modification has been made to the locking system then it is not covered.

Having said that, I would argue the point that these were installed prior to cover being taken out.

I would also read the small print or ask them where in the contract it states that modifications to lock systems means in case of a call out the
contractee is liable for extra costs.

Regards

Richard
