TIL a stuck magnetic contact can eat up half your day

Had a job in a 1920s house where the door contact kept showing 'open' even when shut tight, and I spent 4 hours checking the wire run and panel before I found a tiny piece of metal shaving stuck to the magnet. What's the weirdest thing you've found causing a false alarm?

Half a day for a metal shaving? That seems a bit much, was the system that hard to work on?

My old Ford took three hours for that same thing, @richardk26.
