I would like to note that I am very impressed with your customer service! My RFQ was answered the same day, and your follow through with cylinder details is great! I just like to call out great work when I see it.



Walter Deane | Tull Brothers, Inc

I've watched Accurate shine brighter than many of the manufacturers because of your choices to poise your team to be able to quickly respond to the changing demands in hardware, whether that means re-engineered and re-designed products, engineering new products/features out of anticipation or response to current needs/trends, and finally - most importantly - investing back into your employees, caring for and retaining the amazing staff you have, in sales and in the shop.



Stefanie Fudenna | index-d

Accurate is unequivocally one of our most trusted and relied upon manufacturing partners. What they offer to the marketplace in terms of catalog product, custom capabilities, and engineering prowess is pivotal to our ability to serve the A&D community.

I am always eager to make a good comment when it's deserved and love doing it. Since the day we discussed the cylinder door knob with you, you gave me assurance we will have a good ride, and we did. Putting together the order was like being in dreamland. Everything went well and you did a fantastic job. I don't say this lightly since all 72 knobs & roses passed by my hands & eyes.
