Shoutout to the installer in Mesa who told me I was mounting panels too high

I always put keypads at 60 inches because that's what the manual I learned from back in 2011 showed, and nobody ever complained. Then a guy named Daryl on a job in Mesa watched me mark one out and asked why I was putting it at eye level for a 6 foot guy when most folks are shorter. I moved it down to 48 and the homeowner actually said thank you, which had never happened before. Now I'm wondering how many panels I've mounted wrong over the years, has anyone else had a moment like that?
