Right or Right Now?
You need a piece of hardware.
Do you need it right, or do you need it right now?
If you need it right now then you should get something cheap, plastic or pull it off the shelf of your nearest big-box hardware store. We might be able to help you, but now has never been our number one priority.
Getting things right always has been our number one priority.
What’s “right?” The right front door handleset that will give you the security you need, but still make your front door look great. The right floor register will be able to stand up to your guests big feet but look so good nobody will want to step on them.
Something’s right when you don’t have any regrets about buying it. It looks and works exactly the way you want it to; you can look at it in your home without any doubts it was the right one to buy.
But what about the wait?
What about the wait? If the perfect handleset takes one month to get to you then you’ll regret the long wait for exactly one month. If you settle for the less-than-perfect handleset that you can get right away then you’ll regret not waiting everytime you look at your front door.
Get it right. Pick the best piece of hardware you can find, the one that is exactly what you want.
The one that is worth the wait.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I made the “right now” choice once, and regretted it for months. Finally, I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I went online and bought a beautiful set of door locks for my front door. It didn’t even take that long in the end, but I was thrilled with the change. I’ll never be pulled into buying the cheapy version again! Thanks for the witty advice
