A one-way door is usually the first fitting step for a Tarragindi roof once the crew has found the main gap a possum is using to get in. It sits directly over the entry point and allows movement through it in one direction only, which is why it goes on before any sealing work starts on that particular gap.
Getting the fitting right matters more than it might sound. The crew checks the shape and size of the gap first, since roof tiles, vents and eaves each need a slightly different fitting to sit flush against the roofline. A door that sits loose or at the wrong angle will not do its job properly, so this step usually takes a bit longer than people expect for what looks like a small piece of hardware.
Once the door has been in place for a stretch and the roof cavity is confirmed clear, a second visit removes it and seals the gap along with any other weak points found nearby. Until then, the door stays in place and the rest of the roofline is left undisturbed. Most Tarragindi jobs need the door in for a short stretch before the second visit is booked, and the crew gives a rough idea of timing based on what the first visit finds.
