What is a Child Safety Lock?

A Child Safety Lock is a feature on a home elevator that limits the ability of a child to operate an elevator on their own.

In simple terms, a child safety lock is designed to:

Prevent a child from:

  • Calling an elevator
  • Pressing elevator buttons
  • Using an elevator without adult supervision

An elevator can be operated only with the child safety lock engaged/unlocked by an authorized user, which would prevent a child from being able to use the elevator accidentally.

How does the Child Safety Lock function?

When the Child Safety Lock is on:

  • Elevator's controls are limited
  • Children cannot use the elevator independently
  • Only authorized users can enable

When the lock is off, the elevator operates normally.

This means that all use of an elevator will be intentional, controlled, and supervised.

What is the purpose of the Child Safety Lock?

Children are curious and may try to push buttons or get into the elevator before they understand the restrictions of using the elevator safely.

The Child Safety Lock provides:

  • Protection against a child using an elevator unsupervised
  • Eliminating the risk of accidental operation
  • Increased safety for families with young children
  • Peace of mind for parents
  • Another layer of control on everyday elevator usage

If you have a toddler or young child, the Child Safety Lock feature is even more valuable!
