I finally caught why some guys keep messing up door hanger alignment on new installs
It's because they don't check the hoistway rail bracket level before bolting the hangers in, and then the doors bind after three weeks of use, has anyone else had to go back and fix that on an Otis job?

Check the rail level after the hangers are on, not before.

...and my buddy did the exact opposite on his first gate build. He leveled the rail before hanging anything, then spent half an afternoon shimming sag out of the hinges. By the time he got the hangers on, the whole thing was off anyway, so he had to redo a bunch of it. Pretty much learned that lesson the hard way so I don't have to.
