I have ordered windows and doors on two seperate occasions. Their services were terrible. I recently called their services department to book in for a service and they still have not turned up two weeks later.

Never use their standard windows in bedrooms or bathrooms (or anywhere really). Rylock's frames have no insulation/air lock so the frames get so cold that the condensation is unbearable, even using mechanical ventilation and opening the windows as much as possible. The frames get incredibly hot in summer too and heat the house up. I am about to try and return the windows as they are not fit for purpose!

Very disappointed with the quality of our double glazed windows, there is so many grubby marks between the two panels so the glass always looks dirty, the black silicone has oozed through a fair amount between panels and is very noticeable. Considering how much we paid for all our windows in our new build would never use them again

Beware of vague warranty definitions that Rylock has will use to not honour – I'm writing to express my extreme disappointment with Rylock's handling of a recent warranty claim. While my initial experience with their sales team was positive (about 5 years ago when I purchased my windows), this recent incident has completely eroded my trust in the company. A large pane of glass spontaneously cracked (see attached photos).… Read more

Initially, the glazing team seemed helpful and submitted the photos to their manufacturer for warranty assessment. However, within 24 hours, I was informed the damage wasn't covered.

I requested clarification on what the warranty actually does cover, and was directed to the policy wording. Frankly, the wording is incredibly vague. While I understand warranties don't typically cover damage caused by the occupant, this glass was neither struck nor impacted by anything. I pressed for an explanation of what their "does not cover glass breakage" clause actually means in practice. My questions were met with evasive responses, essentially boiling down to "it's not covered," without any concrete justification.

I understand that sometimes glass can be faulty, or that there may be circumstances beyond anyone's control. However, Rylock's blanket denial of my claim, without a clear explanation, is unacceptable. It feels like they are actively avoiding their warranty obligations.

This experience serves as a warning to other Rylock customers: be aware that if you need to make a warranty claim, you may encounter similar evasiveness and a reluctance to honor the warranty. I anticipate Rylock may respond with excuses or justifications, but they've lost my trust. I will be sharing this experience on other platforms. Will more than oblige taking this review down if Rylock to right by me as I've had positive experiences in the past.

Started off as a good communicator. Myself and my wife picked out the glass and doors we wanted, continued to communicate while waiting for my final council approval, paid the deposit prior to any delivery. Then got told to pay the ‘ outstanding… Read more

amount’ prior to delivery. Which totalled over $30,k worth mind you. Which I did. So after majority of the frames are delivered and the rest having to be installed onsite, Rylock decided to change the structure but never decided to inform us until now, and that consists of 3 rd party charges and now a 6 week wait. This is on going so the review has a chance to be varied. Depending on Rylocks response.

I asked Tamor ( head of sales and customer relations) to explain to me why it states in 10 days of me calling up and letting them know that the framers has installed there window frames that they would be onsite to glaze.

Wasted my time – Absolutely terrible experience. I contacted them and explained that I needed new windows by the end of November at the latest and asked if that was something they could help with. They said, 'Absolutely, no problem with that.' One of their installers was supposed to contact me, but nobody did. I gave them a follow-up call and explained the… Read more

situation, emphasising that it was urgent. All I heard was, 'Leave it with me.' A few days later, still nobody contacted me. I made another follow-up call and heard the same thing. In fact, someone was supposed to contact me the same day, but nobody did.

Two weeks later, I gave up waiting and kept following up, eventually finding an installer on my own. He quickly came over, took the measurements, and requested a quote. Everything went smoothly, but guess what—they couldn’t complete it within the needed timeframe anymore, which was too late for me.

The representative I was speaking with didn’t care about my situation at all. If she had told me they didn't have an installer available instead of giving me misleading information that 'he would contact me the same day,' I would have organised an installer on my own from the start, and there wouldn’t be a problem now.

The worst thing is that when I called them to explain the situation, they refused to take the blame and, in fact, left me with the impression that it was all my fault.

Terrible experience—they lost a customer. To everyone reading this review, do not trust what they tell you, as it may turn out to be 100% untrue.

Exceptional Product and Service – Quality all the way. We did the usual visit all the showrooms to see what is available to change out 2 timber French doors. We left most within a few minutes not really finding what we wanted. Last stop was Rylock Dingley, immediately knew this is what we wanted. The girls were great, showed us all the options and features, gave some color samples… Read more ·  1

to check at home. No pressure, just helpful advice and a contact name for a quote if wanted to go further. Contacted Lambes, explained what we wanted. Estimate quote came through next day. Next step, site visit with Lambes, firm up the quote with any extras. Excepted the quote, visited the showroom to confirmed color's, locks etc. Install date scheduled, confirmed with a phone call. It was all so easy. Rylock are not cheap, but you do get what you pay for, Quality, that's what we wanted. What a difference it makes once the doors installed. From the very start, the girls in the showroom to Lambes and his team of installers. Nothing short of exceptional product and service from start to finish.

Great product friendly sales – As a retired Registered Builder of 30 yrs using many window manufacturers including Stegbar we visited Rylock Window showroom at Dingley Village where we were approached by Ryan Shelly salesman who was extremely helpful and patient a great person as we inspected the Awning Windows and Sliding Door units that are strongly constructed with rigid… Read more ·  1

aluminium sections and well sealed from air leaks, he also talked us into using double glazing that does cost a bit more but the result is it does insulate the windows and doors resulting in a warmer home and keeps out sounds of Vehicles and animals etc. extremely quiet until a window is opened, we also have an Entry Door it is well sealed all round and dead locked with 3 bolts and hung on 3 hinges. If I were to continue to Build I would certainly recommend and use Rylock Windows and Doors as we overlook Westernport Bay it is very windy at times and no noises or leaks. PS. on reading some of the reviews complaints wet plaster air leaks etc. if installed correctly flashings are required at the sides and sill and any gap left at the top (head) for building movement needs to be flashed and providing the windows etc. are plumb and level and packed and fixed properly there should be no problems.

Could not get a quote – Reached out to local Rylock location, had someone come out and measure & talk through options. However after trying over a 12 months period, never received a quotation. Always got same response, "...really busy will be there next week, just need to check something.." Couple months later, same thing. Even asked if they really wanted the job,… Read more

was told "...yes, we do, really sorry about the delays...". After more than 12 months of trying, gave up and went for one of the uPVC windows instead. Windows themselves look great and would have been perfect, but at some point I need to know how much I need to pay and timeline to install.

Be aware. Good windows but poor quality control and installation service – Take note. We paid good money, approx $18K, for good double glazed sliding windows, once the one manufacture seal leak issue rectified during installation, but the installation and quality control poorly managed. The nail holes and gaps on reinstated internal architraves not filled or sanded and windows (inside and out) not cleaned - I was told… Read more

this was not part of the contracted works (but the installer used my timber for blocks and packers which cost me to replace get timber) and I would need to do this SO ENSURE YOU HAVE THESE INCLUDED & IN WRITING ON YOUR ORDER/CONTRACT. Also old windows glass broken on grass, most but not all small shards picked up so I had to do this too as well as clean silicone residue off synthetic grass. I let all above go but then the last straw was finding the external flashings were partially but not fully caulked which I've had to do to ensure no leaks into the house.

Quality Workmanship – Last week we had double glazed windows installed by Rylock Care. The installers came on time and worked diligently to install the windows. They were well mannered and friendly. The windows look great and have certainly enhanced our house. We chose monument as the colour and we are very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Lambes Scapetis company and would definitely use them again. Show reply

Theresa from glazing for organizing the installation of the glass through John of Viseron. Finally and most importantly, I would like to thank Rylock for their services after installation. We double glazed and found stains that were between the panes on one of our doors. There was no argument, the whole door was replaced, after Kiara organised an inspection and replacement.

Poor service to Tasmania – Rylock only has a dedicated sales resource in Tasmania. They have no dedicated customer service or quality control resources in Tasmania, dedicated toward the actual customer, who is paying for their product. They effectively outsource all aspects of the process from installation, glass manufacture, glazing and freight. There appears to be little… Read more

responsibility or accountability for Rylock to the actual customer, as they have outsourced almost all aspects of the Tasmanian experience. In our case, this resulted in poor service and communication, confusion and extensive delays. Delays due to production errors, damage in transit, poor glass manufacture and installation, confusion over industry standards when it comes to quality control and remediation, as well as independent contractors' competing work demands. We did not feel our needs or timelines were being considered by Rylock, the glass suppliers or glass installers. The process was quite frustrating and disappointing for both us and our installer, who did his absolute best to coordinate all the various 'chiefs', to ensure the high quality promised by Rylock - in their marketing - was delivered. Our installer got the best possible result under the circumstances and we would gladly use him again. What started out as an exciting new addition to our home, has become a daily reminder of our frustration and disappointment. We are glad to finally have it behind us and to be moving on to our next venture. We have peace of mind that Rylock will not be part of the renovations to our new home. We now know to engage a Tasmanian manufacturer and supplier that offers local customer service and quality control services throughout the process. One that will accept and proudly be held directly accountable for the quality of their products and installation, by the people paying for the service - the end user, the customer.
