Rant: I used to think a 30-second walk test was good enough for a new install

Honestly, I had a job in a split-level house last year where the garage sensor kept giving false alarms after I left. Tbh, I went back and did a full 2-minute test with the system armed and found the door was flexing just enough in the wind to break the contact. Ngl, how long do you guys actually test a new contact before you call it good?

A full minute? Seriously?

Honestly, I test every new door for a full minute now, just to be safe.
