I believe they installed majority of the commercial security locks back in the days. Knowledgeable staff.

Very helpful and patient with a slow customer, that knows what he wants but must find the right size. I like these people in general.

Dont expect much from this group as far as customer service and responsiveness is concerned. How to call 3 times to get a rep to call me back. Then the rep was a hour late and played it off like they were so busy getting a proposal out. 4 weeks later now and 3 calls and no bid received.
Cant imagine the experience if there was a warranty issue. Have no clue how these guys have 4 stars. 1 star for service, responsiveness and follow through.

Fantastic company from start of project to finishing install. Very knowledgeable. We had a project under strict time constraints and they made it work with very little time for such a large project.

These guys are amazing. Cut me a new key from just the code, as my key had been copied so many times, it was no longer a valid pattern. They really know their stuff.

We like our offices a lot. And we like our employees even more. That's why we asked Kenton Brothers to evaluate our security needs and then to install a comprehensive security system. It has worked perfectly since installation and our comfort level is very high. They were professional, knowledgeable and had a system that perfectly fit our investment level. Kudos to Kenton.
