Narrative:
During the door stop inspection the inspection was accomplished. During the adjustment and test the door rollers were out of adjustment and required moving. After about 5 hours of work loosening and tightening of the hardware the rollers were in position. I was also giving clears to install other components being reinstalled. I believe that I lost track of what hardware had been tightened.
