That moment I learned door hangers need to be level, not just tight
Been doing elevator mods for about 8 years now and always just cranked those door hanger bolts down as hard as I could. Last week I had a job in a 12 story building where every single door was dragging on the sill. Took me three hours to realize the hangers were torqued so tight they bent the track just slightly. Backed them off, leveled each one with a 6 inch level, and the doors glided perfect. Any of you guys ever over-tighten something simple and create a bigger headache?

Maybe it's just me but that bent track might be permanent now if you didn't straighten it first.
