Sorry, Dale I think I confused the issue - the sellers are the ones who indicated that the installers did not use a level. The clients, obviously weren't present for the installation. The sellers are the ones who were offended since they dumped $3500 into this upgrade figuring it was a selling point!!

Joseph,
All you can do is report what you find and your recommendations. I would`nt wast time reporting to the manufacturer, that is the sellers problem. An inspectors job is to find, identify, and make recommendations.

Paul, I understand. It is actually my clients that are asking me for manufacturer information so that some process can get started. Teh sellers (obviously) don't want to pay the buyers for work they already paid for once. (neither would I). The buyers don't want to foot the bill.

The manufacturers rep might set things straight by putting some pressure on the installer, but we don't know who the manufacturer is and my clients wanted to know if I had any help for them in that regard.

This isn't going to end well, I think.

Well there is always small claims court

Yeah, what a complete mess - all over a crappy contractor.

If you know who the contractor/installer was you could have someone call them pretending to shop for doors, and ask what line of doors he carries. Then you may find out who manufactured the door.

if it's a steel door there is usualy a stamp on the hinge side between the top and middle hinge, form there you can find local dealers.
