What is Automatic Door Locking & Detection?

Automatic door locking & detection is a feature on home elevators that prevents the elevator from moving unless all doors are closed and locked.

Once again, if the doors are not locked correctly, if a door is opened, or if a door has not been detected properly, the elevator will not function.

How Do Automatic Door Locking & Detection Operate?

Before the elevator starts moving:

  • The sensors in the system verify the status of the elevator doors before they close
  • The lock mechanisms on the doors are locked securely
  • The automatic door locking & detection system receives a confirmation that the doors are properly closed

The elevator will not begin its journey until all door locks are confirmed as secure; if a door becomes opened, blocked, or not locked correctly while in operation, the elevator will not move. The operation of the Automatic Door Locking & Detection process is completely automatic; there is nothing that the user can do to affect this operation.

Safety is the most important factor to consider when designing a residential elevator system. An automatic door lock & detection system is a necessary feature to provide peace of mind to the family and also keep children, seniors and other vulnerable users protected.

Who Needs Automatic Door Locking & Detection?

If you currently use a residential elevator, installing an automatic door lock & detection system is an ideal option for:

  • Families with Children
  • Families with Seniors or other Mobility Challenged Users
  • Multi-Generational Households
  • Families who frequently use their elevators
  • Families who prioritize safety in their elevator use
  • Individuals who will be using their residential elevators on a daily basis

Automatic door lock & detection systems are an essential element to preventing potential accidents and putting home elevator users at ease.
