Samson Iron Works - Security bar installation - Door Sales/Installation Near Me - Houston, Texas

I moved into my new condo and just like everyone else in today's world I decided to get security for my new home. I spent time and did my research and purchased 2 cameras. One for my door bell and the other over looking my entrance. Online they make it clear to tell you that you need Wifi( which was no problem) This is the catch , they don't really mention how significant it is for you to have control of your own electricity. For some reason now a days many homes have their breaker box outside or not in a private secure place. If they cut off your electricity, you no longer have WiFi therefore you no longer have cameras. My breaker box being in my patio was pretty much accessible to the public. Therefore I decided to get a home monitoring system. This is the other catch, home monitoring system alert the police if someone breaks into your house. Now a days burglars are using the key numbing system to break into your home You will need to look it up for details but basically they put a blank key into your lock and copy your key. You open the door just like anyone who had the key and therefore the home monitoring system has no reason to be suspicious. I also got shutters but the person installing the shutters makes up the code for your remote and they can tell anyone. If someone has the code to your electric shutters, they can open them just like you do. I would like to bring this concern to light to the shutter companies. Why the owner of the shutters is kept in the dark about which code the worker has chosen. Why should the worker know your shutters code and not you. Would it make more sense if the owner of the shutters got to pick the code in a private manner so that no one else would know their shutters s code? So that idea was out the door because the people installing my shutters made friends with the people keeping the grounds at my condo. I might not be lucky with alarms but I am lucky in that I have really nice people for my HOA. They allowed me to get security gate and I am thrilled about it. First they look great, there is a physical sense of security and you feel like you have protection. The man that installed mine is named Victor. He is soft spoken and is gentle in his ways. He listens and remembers what you needed from him. Nothing can put those gates out of service. The only thing you need to be careful with is picking your locks for the gate. Remember key bumping. Victor will put as many locks as you want. And you pick your own design. There are some special keys that are prone to key bumping. Do your homework on the internet. Also you can add some bicycle chains around the bars. After spending a lot of money and a lot of time , I have come to the conclusion that security gates are the most reliable form of security for your home. By the way , Their prices are reasonable and you don't have to keep making monthly payments. I will send you some pictures, it's night time right now read more

Bought a condo as a rental property. Noticed most other units had security bars on their windows and doors. Decided to join the majority. Really glad I went with Samson Iron Works. Great communication, on time to the appointment(s), extremely fair price, quick and professional install. Definitely would be using them again if the need arises! read more

Just cannot say enough good about Victor and Samson Iron Works. Would give them 10 stars if possible. BEST small business we have ever dealt with lifetime. We called Samson Iron Works and others after our house was burglarized; burglars came in through unprotected ground floor window. Don't be lulled into thinking an alarm system is enough! Victor came to visit and explained our options to us. He patiently explained the pros and cons of each option. It was clear that what Victor wanted was the best option for us and NOT the most money for himself. The other burglar bar people we talked to wanted to toss in lots of expensive options that did not add to security or functionality but that did provide them more revenue. Victor's cost estimate was 1/7th of other quotes. Not kidding; 1/7th!! Victor also provided us a lot of other common sense suggestions regarding burglar proofing our home. All of his suggestions were very sound advice and we will implement them. Victor and his team prebuilt and painted our burglar bars in his shop after taking careful measurements. On installation day, the burglar bars were installed with a minimum of muss and fuss. One hour later and for what I consider to be a VERY low price, we have burglar bars on all of our ground floor windows. Wish we had done this years and years ago. We could have prevented our home being burgled if we had thought ahead. We foolishly believed that an alarm system would deter burglars. We lost a lifetime of accumulated jewelry and other valued possessions that cannot be replaced. Victor is the most personable and most honest small business person I've ever met. Plus, he hires and trains US Veterans as apprentices. How can you not like that?? read more

After an unfortunate incident I was in need of some extra security at home. I called Samson Iron Works. They came onsite and made recommendations for not only their work but for additional security. I went with both. They fabricated the bars and fence I added. The installation was easy and everyone was friendly. I called during a very busy time so a little extra communication was needed but they were good about calling back. read more

If I could leave zero stars from my mom's experience, I would. My mom paid this man 600 bucks to put burglar bars up. My mom paid him to come out today at 8 am. Mind you, my mom works a full time job where every penny counts. My mom took off to wait for the man of this business to meet her at 8 am per their contract. After waiting for countless hours, he fails to show up. So, my mom decides to call him and his response to her was that she needs to have patience. Uh, no sir, you need to communicate effectively as a businessman. He then proceeds to tell my mom that she's upset because "Trump is in office." First off, just because we are African American doesn't necessarily mean that we give two flying colors if Trump is in office or not. Secondly, what does installing burglar bars have to do with politics? He then starts yelling at my mom saying to meet him at his house to get a refund. Since my sister and pretty much everyone in my family are cops, my mom gets my sister involve so that the matter can be resolved. As my mother drove up to the guy's house, he brings her out a check. Little does he know, my sister is on speaker phone listening. The guy proceeds to yell at my mom by saying "You need to listen to me. You need to listen to why I couldn't be there on time!" My mother tells the man that she only wants her money and that she's not here to hear his story. The man continues to try to tell my mom his story until my sister chimed in. Once the guy realized that my sister was in law enforcement, he quickly changed the story and tried to blame his workers for HIS communication issue. Moral of the story, stay away from this rude, disrespectful, unprofessional guy. It's a million people in Houston who install burglar bars. Do your research. read more

After reviewing the photo and reviews decided to call for a scheduled estimate. Easy to connect and scheduled to come out the same day. Excellent job of communicating delays and arrival. The first thing I wanted was estimate on invisible security bars. Looked at the windows, estimated the sizes, which I confirmed, and gave me a quick verbal quote. I also wanted to fence in my porch. Surprisingly, he discouraged that due to the cost and suggested I just put bars on the door. I understood he felt he was saving me money but I wanted my porch fully enclosed and understand that's more footage and expenses which I was willing to pay. Besides that, the interaction was pleasant. He gave me his business card and magnets and said he would have the quote to me, by email, in a few days. He recorded all my information in his notebook. That was months ago. Never heard back. Kind of disappointed because it looked like they did quality work but as a potential customer, I'm not comfortable trying to flag down a business for service. If I have to follow up to get an estimate, I may have to do the same with service or for problems. Even if he had lost my email, he did have my phone details. In the meantime, received several referrals from neighbors so will follow up on those. I have two of the three quotes needed before making a decision and contracting out the work. read more

Victor is from the old-school, and you cannot find any better. Sadly, you rarely run across people running businesses like he does, but when you do, count yourself lucky and stay with them. Victor did lots of extremely attractive (there are some cool choices that are far from bodega-looking) security bars and a massive gate for my house 13 years ago, and they have proven to be well worth it. They add a lot of visual interest, plus no one ever managed to break in over all the years when I was here only part-time- very noteworthy in my part of Houston. Naturally, a house will settle and shift over so many years, so when I had to call this week to have the lock adjusted (for the first time ever, I should add), he did the job on a Saturday and refused all payment. It was tough and noisy work-not something you give away- but my gates work perfectly again. His colleague Herman even picked up my meddling 3 year old boy to keep him away from investigating the metal shards. When he does charge, however, the cost is utterly reasonable. If you call and think it might be a while before they get to you, don't worry-they actually will. (I am always concerned about this because I've experienced lots of flakes or people who take on too much and don't finish well when they do get around to it.) Just get on Victor's schedule and don't mess with looking anywhere else. There is no nonsense or headache with this company. M. Middleton read more

Excellent customer service. The quality of work exceeded expectations. Victor has inovative ideas to provide security for your home. He explains the job thoroughly before a contract is signed, and work is completed on schedule. He is not a pushy salesman and I highly recommend him. read more
