Kinda like going to a dentist to have him put in crowns you had made down in
some clip joint in Tijuana.

| FYI you can't connect 35 individual zones to the panel without adding SIM
| modules or zone expanders. If you prewired the contacts that great.
| Unfortunately the rest is not that simple. The way you drilled the windows
| and sealed (or didn't seal) the contacts in the frame is going to be one
| issue. The alignment of the magnet and the switch is another. The type of
| connections you made using solder and tape, or silicon filled beans, or
| worse yet dry beans is going to be something else. Since all you can see
is
| a rip-off by the alarm company, all I can see is a nightmare for an
| installer. Just because you ran the wire doesn't mean it hasn't been
broken
| or grounded by the sheet rocker, electrician, plumber, HVAC guy etc. If
you
| never did an alarm trim out you don't know all the problems that can come
| with it.
| If you want the cheapest price you're going to get the cheapest work. Quit
| shopping for price and look for someone you can trust to give you value
| instead. Considering we offer a full one year parts and labor warranty,
| would I do a full trim out on a customer provided prewire for only $35 per
| opening? Not likely. If you're into DIY I think you need to carry it all
the
| way, not pass off the job half way through and then bitch about getting
| ripped off.
