What is Automatic Door Locking & Detection

Automatic Door Locking & Detection systems in home elevators ensure that the elevator only moves when the doors are completely closed and secure. This automatic safety system prevents the elevator from operating when the doors are not securely closed and locked. Automatic door locking & detection uses sensors to continuously monitor the position of the doors. If any part of a door is open, even a small amount, then that elevator will not function.

The automatic door locking & detection systems of the Nibav home elevators are part of the control mechanism, thereby providing controlled, safe and reliable travel without the need for human intervention in checking the door positions.

Why Automatic Door Locking & Detection Systems Are Important

  • Preventing Unsafe Operation

    • The elevator cannot begin operation until all doors are completely closed; thus, there is no chance for the elevator to operate with unsecured doors.

  • Protecting Elevator Passengers

    • Using this feature reduces the likelihood of slips, trips, and falling while the elevator is in operation.

  • Increasing Homeowner's Everyday Confidence

    • With automatic door locking & detection, homeowners can be sure that their elevators only start after all safety conditions have been met.

Who Can Benefit From Automatic Door Locking & Detection?

  • Families With Children

    • Automatic door detection prevents children from accidentally activating or riding in elevators when the doors aren't securely locked.

  • Elderly Passengers

    • Seniors enjoy greater peace of mind with the knowledge that their elevators will not operate unexpectedly.

  • Multi-User Households

    • Multi-user households that frequently use elevators experience decreased risk of human error or accidents as a result of the automated control systems.

How Does Automatic Door Locking & Detection Work?

  • Door Placement Sensors

    • Sensors ensure that no part of the doors is open before allowing elevator movement.

  • Lock Sensing System

    • The control system of the elevator ensures that the lock is fully engaged before allowing movement.

  • Movement Prevention

    • If either the door is in an open position or not locked, the elevator will remain stationary.

  • Integrated Safety Controls

    • Automatic door locking & detection works with the complete safety system of the elevators.
