-Final payments can only be made to the installer via cash or credit card (a surcharge of 1.25% applies to credit cards). If you require other payment methods, please arrange with office prior to fitting.
-Outstanding balances must be paid on installation to installer. KNA reserves the right to charge interest to overdue accounts.
-Any costs incurred in retrieving payment including but not limiting to debt collectors, courts etc will be charged to the client.
-An order will not be cancelled unless a request in writing has been received and accepted by KNA.
-You agree to the pay the full balance if the job cannot be installed due to scheduling out of our control. This comes into effect 30 days from when doors are ready for installation. The account then becomes “overdue” until paid and may incur interest.
-By going ahead with your order you understand that lead-times given are an estimate only. While KNA Security do everything they can to fulfil this estimate, there are some factors which are out of their control.
-Due to the costs involved once the material has been ordered/cut we do not offer refunds or discounts because of delays. As a small business KNA do their upmost to keep the client informed of delays and treat customer service as a priority.
Security Doors and Screens
-By accepting this quote, I understand that modifications may be necessary to allow the fitting of KNA products and that KNA is not responsible for securing or re-aligning existing frames.
-Some frames are not square and can limit us to how our doors are finished, including but not limiting to uneven gaps.
-Some doors have to be made out of square to fit neatly in your existing frame, this can sometimes mean the corner mitre joins are not always perfect. We have a tolerance for mitred corners of gaps no larger than 1mm.
– Packing of doors, especially hinged doors is a normal practice. This is usually done behind the subframe but is sometimes required behind the hinge.
– While KNA Security take all care when drilling into your existing frames, tiles, render, brick or any other surface we will not be held responsible for any damage or marks caused.
– While KNA take all care working in and around your home we are not responsible for damages caused.
– Any alterations to the area being fitted to can affect the fitting of products. If the product has been made and does not fit due to this a charge will be applied to rectify if needed.
– All security doors and screens quoted are for the operable sides only unless otherwise stated on the order.
– Colour choices are the responsibility of the client. Our consultants can suggest options but it is your responsibility to ensure you are happy with the colour or that the colours written on your quote are the same as the colours on your home if you are matching. Colours also may vary slightly from samples and from section to section due to batch powder-coating and suppliers of a particular section.
– You understand that mesh is always black (Including but not limited to InvisiGard, AluGard, AluGard Edge and Outlook)
– It is normal to have movement in the mesh, especially the steel mesh. The mesh when not framed is very flexible. However, if it bows out and stays that way when pushed back and forth (called popping), this indicates excessive movement and it should be tightened. If the mesh does not “pop”, then the movement is acceptable.
– When quality checking finishes it is common practice to do so from at least 2 metres away and not in direct sunlight.
– It is normal to have very slight differences in sections in special colours, especially wood look.
– Finishes on sections with a spline groove (Grille doors and AluGard) can have little or less paint in the groove due to the powder-coating process. We can install a spline if requested by the client.
– When powder coating sections there is a “face”. For example, an angle has an outer and inner, the outer is generally the face and is where the powder coating is focused, the inside face can have less paint and usually 2 – 3 marks where it is hung or shelved. KNA does not control the powder coating process. Where possible and seen we will touch up the 2-3 marks. This can be very hard to match with textured colours including wood finishes.
– The use of touch-up paint is standard practice for any small imperfections, scuffs or scratches.
– Black is the standard colour used for all Non-standard colours. This applies to (but not limited to) locks, closers, fixings etc. If you would like a substitute standard colour please advise prior to going ahead with the order.
– Having a Pet door installed will make a security not “rate” as a security door.
– Pet door sizes are the responsibility of the owner, while KNA will help with sizing the decision is on the owner.
– If a Pet door is installed and the pet cannot or will not use the door we cannot be held responsible.
-By accepting this quote I understand that packing maybe required to allow the fitting of our products due to existing frames.
-I am aware that an emergency escape from these premises may be required and have planned accordingly.
– In some circumstances, light fittings that are close to the door may need changing to a downlight or moved. KNA Security is not responsible for this.
-The products supplied by KNA carry a limited 7 year guarantee against faulty materials (15 years to Invisi-Gard products) to doors and screens, and a 2 year guarantee against faulty workmanship.
-Hardware carries a 2 year guarantee excluding Flywire and Rollers. Note that after this period you may be able to contact the product manufacturer for a replacement under their warranty (product only).
-Call-out fees apply to jobs not in our local service area regardless of under warranty or not.
Local service areas are listed in our service area list.
Service calls arranged that we attend and cannot be completed for reasons out of our control (eg access, client not home, no key available etc) will incur a call-out fee on return regardless of warranty or not.
-No guarantee will be given against misuse, abuse, accidental damage, poor maintenance or depreciation of these materials and products.
Wood-Look finishes
With our wood-look finishes, there can be variations from length to length. Some doors require multiple lengths and so this can be seen on some doors. (Just like real timber).
This process is out of control and is normal practice from our powder-coater.
Out manufacturers will always do there best to distribute the sections on a door to best match.
How to read your quote.
-I am aware that a regular maintenance schedule is required to maintain these products. Warranty and care page can be found here https://www.knasecurity.com.au/security-screens-perth/warranty-care-maintenance/
Glass Doors & Windows
When Installing new Windows & Doors
All care is always taken when removing the existing frames however KNA Security will not be responsible to carry out repairs to any of the existing if damaged. This includes the below but is not limited to.
*The removal of the existing windows and/or doors can cause damage to the existing paint work, eve sheets, internal plaster and/or external finishes such as rendering.
*Some existing frames have a lip on the bottom/sides of the frame so when removing the frames, loss of or damage to tiling/timber flooring may occur.

*Any unforeseen structure/cosmetic issue that may occur once existing frames have been removed.
*Re-fitting of any timber sills & skirting may need to be undertaken by others.

than the previous frames, any extension of plaster, tiles, timber or carpet to meet up to the new frames is down to
others.
