      In January 2023, the DC office of Keyedin recommended to and sold our Condominium Association a ******** entry and call box system for $9,300. Keyedin installed the system. The system functioned properly until June 2023. At this time a Keyedin employee named Shay came to the unit at the request of the Association management company to add new residents' names to the call box entry system. Prior to Keyedin's visit, the box was functioning perfectly. Almost immediately after Keyedin completed its system adjustments, the system failed. After Keyedin had opened and adjusted the name list function, the system failed to display our residents' names and the remote opening function was completely inoperable. We called Keyedin to come back out to inspect the system and after doing so they claimed that the system required a new motherboard. Keyedin had no explanation for why a brand new system which was was working perfectly just before they opened the box to make adjustments, but failed immediately after they performed work on the box. They then sent the Association a proposed invoice asking for $3,600 to repair the system. It is a virtual certainty that KeyedIn's technician caused the 6 month old system to fail -- probably by shorting the motherboard. However, Keyedin refused to accept responsibility for their poor repair work and then tried to profit from the incident. They should have taken responsibility and offered to make repairs free of cost. Instead they tried to profit from the incident. I would not recommend this company. We would like Keyedin to take responsibility and cover the cost of the repair.

      After the ******** callbox failed, we immediately contacted the manufacturer and created a warranty claim after tiresely attempting to fix the issues with ********'s customer service. The customer service acknowledged that the issue is a result of a motherboard failure, not connected to a human error or incorrect programming. 
      The motherboard is under the manufacturer warranty and needed to be sent back for replacement.
      In order to get the system operational ASAP we suggested installing a new motherboard while we wait for a credit from the manufacturer. KeyedIn advised the customer that in order to ensure a continuity of service, it is best to buy a replacement motherboard, send the faulty motherboard back to ******** and have ******** apply the credit to the new motherboard. In essence, the customer would not be charged for the new equipment, only for labor. The labor was charged because the issues occurred past the warranty period given for labor. All terms and conditions are specified in KeyedIn's invoices. Labor, and expedited S&H of the new equipment resulted in the cost for the customer. The customer will receive the credit from the manufacturer for the faulty equipment. 
      The aforementioned was discussed and agreed upon by the customer and KeyedIn via a telephone conversation ahead of the repair. The property manager for the customer approved the work in writing ahead of the work. 
      As promised, KeyedIn installed the new motherboard and sent the defective motherboard for credit. KeyedIn is in communication with the property manager to issue the promised refund for the equipment. Currently there are no issues with the callbox and its operation.
