Tape tags saved me on stair jobs

I’ve started taking 3 minutes in the truck to tag panels and runners with painter’s tape (L/R, top/bottom) before the first carry so I’m not flipping parts mid-stairwell to check orientation. Yesterday’s 6‑drawer went up clean with no wall dings and the cams lined up first try.

I do the same and add a quick arrow on the tape for “front” plus the cam letter/bolt length, so assembly starts immediately at the landing without flipping or hunting parts. Folding a tiny pull-tab on each tag makes it easy to peel with gloves and swap pieces mid-flight.
