How do you inspect the garage door?

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

If the car isn't home, do you disclaim in your report not using the remote?

That's a silly requirement to have to use the remote. It should be removed from the SOP.

[James E. Braun, CMI]

Where it says the remote needs to be used first, I believe is the most silliest.

[Joe Farsetta]

I agree and suggest that you bring discrepencies on the SOP to the attention of the ESOP committee, which is chartered with this task.

I also agree that the remote section for garage door testing should be removed.

Ben, didnt you actually write the NACHI Standards of Practice, as the Committee inhereted it some time ago.

I'm almost at a point where I don't want to follow the NACHI SOP anymore. Seems to me after all this time the SOP would be nailed down by now. Just my observation.

I wrote the first draft many years ago in Nick's basement in PA. It was obviously not as developed as its present version. I remember that I called it the "Standard of Practice" and Chris Morrell changed it to "Standards" with an "s."
