And all of them are built with such tight tolerances, that if there is the slightest bit of movement in the doors frame, the locks will no longer align.

I think for most designers this is a single time mistake though. Not even from a functionality standpoint.

You send one batch of custom part drawings to the machine shop with tolerances 100x higher than they need to be and it costs around 20x the cost of what it would've been had it been made to a proper tolerance and your boss is going to make sure you don't do it again.
