It might be time to have the doors on your elevators checked!

Like the tires on your car, the doors are by far the part of an elevator that’s worked the hardest. They open and close an average of almost 200,000 times per year according to a major door manufacturer. That produces a lot of wear and tear on the equipment that operates them. Because of all this use, elevator doors are the cause of over 70% of all service calls industry wide.  Door related issues are also the cause of most downtime which creates an inconvenience to nearly everyone in the building.

Replacement of door equipment and fixtures, such as the car panel, hall buttons, and position indicators will certainly improve performance of these “wear items” in the same way replacing worn tires will improve the way your car drives and make it safer. You should also consider the upgrading of worn-out cab interiors and lighting fixtures for a more comfortable ride. Increasingly, LED lighting is eliminating the use of incandescent light bulbs. LEDs last up to five times longer and typically use less energy.
