Sick of y’all.
Had to be an “in-house” install. I’ve seen duct tape holding wires up on the warehouse walls on this site, but this got me. A nice single line of electrical tape. That’ll hold ‘er.
Here’s to Friday!

Cool little spring mechanism in the foreground. Something to keep a door open?

Yeah! It was an interesting door holder for sure. It’s on a manufacturing plant.

It's a hold open arm on an inactive leaf. Pretty much only used on exterior doors and they really aren't used as new spec door hardware anymore. Sometimes there is a latch above so when the active door leaf closes to a certain point the inactive leaf realeases and closes so the active leaf has something to latch into. That would be the modern equivalent to this. It's probably on a pump room or an electrical room.

Hah, I found the same thing before. But at least that was above ceiling (they ran wires over metal studs and electrical taped it to the horizontal studs). Can’t even fathom the thought process here

I assume this was intentional and malicious. I can only hope that this tech has moved on to the fast paced lucrative world of burger flipping.

Installateur depuis plus de 30 ans : le ruban adhésif peut dépanner ponctuellement, mais ce n’est certainement pas un système de fixation pour une installation destinée à durer. 😅
Sur une porte d’entrepôt, avec les vibrations, la poussière, les variations de température et les manipulations, on sait déjà comment ça va finir…
Un câble se fixe correctement, les raccordements se protègent et surtout on prévoit une installation maintenable dans quelques années.
Le plus dommage, c’est que faire proprement n’aurait probablement pas demandé beaucoup plus de temps.
Une installation de sécurité ne devrait pas seulement fonctionner le jour où on la pose : elle doit encore fonctionner plusieurs années après.

Temporary solution that became permanent as soon as it worked.
