Valli - I'm happy to leave it there also, but I guess you now clearly see my point?
I enjoy helping people - most people our company deals with are in need of urgent advice and assistance (just been burgled, lost car keys etc)
There are too many companies or rogue traders ripping people off or giving them really bad advice and it annoys me!
I just found out one of my neighbours paid a 'friend' £45 for 'one of the best locks available' a lock that I describe as 'not suitable for home protection' and priced at £8............. I can snap that junk in 10 seconds and walk through their front door - nearly as fast as using the key. To cap it all they can't even lock the door now??

I'm happy to advise people for free here - yes I run a 35 year established and authorised/registered/approved security company, but that doesn't mean I can't offer the correct advice to people wanting to protect their own 'castle'.

Rant & explanation over - apologies to the OP, and let's all move onwards & upwards :A

You also appear to excel at boasting...
