Checking an elevator door opening before the frame goes in

Doors
Accuracy
One-Handed Use

Hoistway openings are dimensioned to tolerances the elevator contractor will hold you to, and there is no trimming a door frame to suit afterwards. The T1 Tomahawk lands the laser on the far jamb, holds the reading on the display while you read it, and saves each width and height as you work down the shaft. One hand stays free on a concrete sill.

Elevator openings leave no room to argue with. The laser lands on the far jamb, the reading holds on the display while you look at it, and each width and height gets saved as you work down the shaft. One hand stays free for the pencil, which matters when you are working off a concrete sill.
