Just dropped $400 on a new hoistway door roller gauge and it was a total game changer

We had this one job downtown where the doors kept binding on a 15-story building. The old gauge was off by almost an eighth of an inch, so every adjustment was a guess. Bought the new digital gauge, set it up in five minutes, and had the whole bank running smooth. Anyone else find a tool that just makes one annoying job way easier?

Sounds like a fancy fix for a basic problem.

Honestly thought the same thing for years, that it was just overcomplicating stuff. Then saw a crew miss a whole floor's worth of pipe because their old method was "close enough". The fancy fix is just math making sure things actually line up when you're that high up.

An eighth of an inch off on a 15-story run is a huge miss.
