HVACDiagnostics & Troubleshooting3MediumField Technician$ implied

Service technician cannot get proper airflow or temperature measurements on a package HVAC unit because the access door does not seal properly around the coil, causing air to suck around the probe.

No purpose-built tool exists to create an airtight seal around measurement probes when accessing package unit coils, forcing techs to improvise with doors held partially open.
