Working in security and doing security door/door access installs with a locksmith and getting into locksport, I've noticed- and maybe it's just a thing local to me- that like 95% of the doors in the world are not installed correctly.

I have a stop on my route that got broken into through their roll up door windows. they installed an electronic alarm system. then 2 weeks later when I tried to leave the front door wouldn't latch. the strike plate had been shimmed closer to the door latch badly and it required multiple slammings to get it to latch.

οΈ@coolcalmcollected @alice @deviantollam My wife's print studio just had a guy install a commercial double door and put the surface latch on the wrong side of the door- It doesn't lock anything and its accessible from the outside ΰ² _ΰ²

@coolcalmcollected @alice @deviantollam Don't worry, they also installed a second surface latch on the inside as well for what I'm sure are reasons. They marked the hole in the door frame for it to slide into but never cut the hole. We found out about this because the building manager was like "Hey, your door has been open for 3 days"

the worst i've seen was a new subdivision where all the french doors were installed over a couple of days. they sent an junior person to do it. all were installed upside down, which made them non-functional. they had to redo all the doors (probably not much better but at least right side up).

@deviantollam I think I actually learned that bit of trivia from you

Don't count on it, reminds me of the story of an airline pilot, he loved reading the papers (read them good and well) except about aviation where he always found errors.

@hnapel That's the Gell-Man Amnesia Principle
Gell-Mann Amnesia
Michael Crichton coined the term Gell-Mann Amnesia effect to describe forgetting how unreliable a source is in one area when you trust it in another area.

@ColinTheMathmo @hnapel Angela Collier also has an incredible video on this.
Also, if anything, I think I'm experiencing the opposite of that. Now that I am aware of how a door should work, I'm seeing how much nobody seems to do it correctly -
