Took me 4 hours to find a door lock that was just slightly out of adjustment

Had a brand new install in a 6 stop building downtown. Car kept throwing a fault on the door lock circuit. Checked every wire, every contact, every board. Finally at 6pm I noticed the lock plunger was just 2mm too far from the strike plate. Moved the plate over a tiny bit and it worked perfectly. Has anyone else wasted a whole day on something this dumb?

Tightened a strike plate 1mm once. Fixed after 3 hours. Felt like an idiot.

Man did you at least get overtime or was that just a freebie for the building?
