What methods do you use for T- rail alignment? I do mostly low-rise installs 2-4 floors. residential and commercial 8-12-15lb rails
methods I use: ( nothing fancy at all) - laser to the rail with a measuring tape. - c clamp top of the rail with a string and plumb bob, measuring tape. - 7 ft level, cut conduit for DBG.
The better the effort, the better the result.

Good info here! Here’s a trick I was taught that made me go WOW that’s the easiest way to do that. When you want to find center of rails to do fronts off temp skip. Get a stick of 3/4 conduit notch about 1/2 inch off one end 1/2 way thru. This end goes on rail and out the opening. Put a pencil on the end and draw an arc on the floor. Now do the same on the other rail. The two arcs will cross each other in 2 places. Draw a straight line thru the 2 Xs back to edge of hoistway. This will be dead center of your rails every time. Length of conduit will depend on how far back your rails are but you’ll see real quick how long you need.
