Re: LOCKED PANEL

Brinks installs their system. The customer then agrees to pay the $500
to own it. The customer cancels Brinks after completeing the contract.
Guess what? Brinks will not service the system the customer owns unless
they resign another 3 year contract. Since the panel is not keypad
programmable, it is the same as locking the panel out even though the
customer owns the equipment. There lies the problem. The customer has
been ripped off.

RHC: If Brinks were the first one on the scene, and they did their
sales job properly, they probably would get the business. So what !
Doesn't give the original company the right to lock a board which has
been SOLD to someone else.

RHC: Who gets the business National or otherwise has nothing to do
with the fact that someone has locked a board that belongs to someone
else. Frustration at not automatically being given the ongoing service
business is no excuse to justify doing so
