Warranty

How can RSL afford to offer an incredible lifetime warranty on both frames and glass? The answer is directly related to our reputation during the past 46 years for Quality by Design; it’s a lot more than just a catchy branding name. RSL quality has been predicated on excellent craftsmanship, choosing the best raw materials, and employee pride in their work. Most of our management team has been with RSL for decades (the newest is 14 years and the most senior member has been with us 33 years). Ask your RSL sales rep how long he or she has been with RSL; we are proud of the fact that in an industry known for its many changes, RSL chooses the best reps and succeeds in keeping them on our team for a very long time. Our employees are the foundation of our team because they are the ones that every day handle the raw materials that are used to supply our customers; their attention to detail, pride in their job and personal concern for the reputation of the company is what determines the real experience of homeowners that appreciate RSL products.

The combination of a great team of people and the choice of high quality components leads to superior products that can be backed by the best warranty in our industry. Check it out; you won’t find another manufacturer that guarantees all of its doorglass products, both frame and glass, with a lifetime warranty.
