The elevator door is one of the components users interact with most frequently. The right door system is not merely an aesthetic or dimensional decision; traffic density, shaft geometry, speed, number of floors and service approach should be considered together.
Clarify project conditions first
Before starting door selection, clear door opening, door height, center- or side-opening requirements, car layout and landing traffic should be determined. These data form the basic selection criteria for the door operator and mechanical arrangement.
What does the CO or SO choice change?
Center-opening systems provide symmetrical passage and a more balanced appearance, while side-opening solutions may offer advantages in narrow shafts or special architectural conditions. Selection should be based not only on architecture, but also on available clear opening and system geometry.
Consider the operator and door mechanism together
The door operator, car door and landing door should not be evaluated as independent parts. More stable operation is achieved when the drive system, belt structure, door weight, opening-closing profile and control compatibility are considered together.
Points to review in your project
- Measure the door opening and shaft geometry
- Determine the opening type according to project conditions
- Check operator-door compatibility together
- Evaluate service and spare-parts access
