      Product Issues
      Status:
      Unanswered
      1. The bar across my garage door that allowed the door to move up and down was loose. I was advised by the Lifetime repairman that the original bar was too short and that I needed a longer bar across my garage door. The longer bar was necessary to off load the weight of the door. The repair job was performed on my garage door 2/12/22. The new bar that was installed detached within one months time causing damage to the top where it attaches.. I placed numerous calls to no avail. I was finally able to reach someone on June 28, 2022. I was first advised that their records did not show a bar was installed so they would not be able to come back. I asked to speak with a supervisor. I was advised to send a picture, which I sent on June 29, 2022. I was then advised by the company that I would have to pay a minimal labor charge to have a tech return to fix the problem. Since the bar coming off was due to poor workmanship/incorrectly installed I do not feel I should have to pay for a return visit. 2. The service charge for the worked performed was processed through my ** **** account twice on the same day by Lifetime. One time for $212.94 and a second time for $212.92. The Lifetime representative requested proof of the transaction so that their accounting department could refund the monies . On June 28, 2022 I sent the page from the bank statement showing the completed transaction. To date they have not refunded the money. I am requesting a refund of all monies paid which totals $425.86 so that I can have someone else do the job properly. I have waited approximately 7 months for them to resolve this issue. I cannot use the garage door opener to raise the door or keep it closed. Without the proper bar in place the garage door can be opened from the outside allowing the security of my home to be compromised.

      Date of work began 5/3/22. Ended 6/28/22. The guy who installed our new garage door did very shoddy work. The rails were so loose you could push the rails back and forth with your hand without any effort. He also left a huge gap between the garage door and the garage frame. When we reported it to the company, another guy came back to adjust the gap but he couldn't fix it because bolts were riveted into the rails and were not adjustable. He also called his boss and said we should have high lift rails instslled rather than the 7ft rails that were ordered. No one ever even came over to do an original inspection to see what would be needed. So after the garage door was installed, we ended up having to order a high lift kit which they said would take 6 - 8 weeks to come in and that they'd fix the gap when they installed the highlift kit. okay. 8 weeks passed and I called to inquire about it. I was told it was coming tomorrow. A week passed. I called again and I was told it was coming in Friday. okay. Another week passed. I called again and left messages. No return calls. Called yet again and got the run around. Still No return call. Finally got a hold of the person who was handling things. He said he had no idea when the kit would come in. I said it would be good if he would at least call and let me know the status after waiting 8 weeks. He said he doesn't call until the parts come in. Basically I could be waiting indefinitely to hear from them. So I ended up cancelling the order and going with another company (who got the job done within a week of my call to them!). I would have had to pay Lifetime extra for the highlift kit anyway. Besides I couldn't trust if the part would ever come in and that they wouldn't do another shabby job. Awful work done. Awful Customer Service.
