I work for an electronic lock company. Around 4 months ago, we sold 120 locks to a motel in Winter Haven, FL. As we agreed, 33% payment before shipping, 33% CoD, another 33% will need to be paid after the installation. So we send our installers to the property and found out the property does not meet our installation requirements. So we offered him a full refund, travel expense for our installers as our lost. We have been waiting for the motel to return those locks for over 3 months now, they want to get a refund before shipping the locks back. And I think for any company before they give a refund they need to have their products back first. So now the owner of the property is neither willing to send the locks back to us nor pay the rest of the balance. Hes not willing to answer the calls from us, on top of that hes threatening to damage our reputation.
So at this point, what should we do now? Get a local lawyer at FL or is there another way to get our products back? many thanks!

Is the only way to get our locks back is to sue him, anyone happen to know any lawyers in winter haven, FL area?

120 locks dont take alot of space, but those locks are very heavy, we are looking at around 1400 lbs. The shipping cost will be over $900 total ( 2 ways) and it will cost us over $1000 to send someone to FL, we are in TX. So if we have a good chance to win in court, we'd rather sue him. No we dont have the key for the locks, they are not installed yet. The owner mentioned he will sell those locks for cheaper prices to make some money.

You need to seek the advise of an attorney, that is probably your best bet to answer ths question.

120 locks dont take up that much space do they? ask if they agree to you sending someone round with refund to collect the locks ... its cheaper than court action.

Hire an attorney, as Guido is not available to visit the hotel with his trusty bat and buddies!
