Pro tip: I hit 50 false alarm callbacks in a single month and it changed how I do my final walkthrough
It was all from one new condo complex in Denver where the builders rushed the door installs. Every unit had a sensor that was just a hair off alignment, and the owners kept tripping it by closing the door too hard. Now I spend an extra ten minutes per job checking the gap with a feeler gauge and doing a firm close test three times. Who else has a specific step they added after a bad run of callbacks?

Wasn't that fifty in a single month, not a year?

Oh man, fifty callbacks sounds like a special kind of nightmare! That condo complex must have felt like a haunted house where the ghost just really hated bad door work. Now you're out there with a feeler gauge like a door detective, which is honestly pretty smart. My only added step is angrily shaking my fist at the sky after the third trip back for something silly.
