What Are Child Safety Locks in Home Elevators?

A child safety lock for home elevators is a method of restricting the use of the elevator by children. This method is activated if the elevator is not in use. If activated, the elevator will still only operate when an adult unlocks it using a safe means, such as a key switch, an access code, or a control panel programmed to use only by an adult. The child safety lock for home elevators made by Nibav has been designed so that it works seamlessly with no impact on the ease of use of an elevator by adults.

Why Child Safety Locks for Home Elevators Are Important?

  • Prevent Accidental Use

    • Children are often drawn to and curious about elevators, so a child safety lock prevents them from using the elevator as a toy and also significantly diminishes the likelihood of an accidental elevator movement.

  • Protection for Families

    • Having a child safety lock will provide families with peace of mind. Parents and caregivers will know that an elevator is only used if intentionally activated by an adult.

Who Needs Child Safety Locks for Home Elevators?

  • Households with Young Children

    • The vast majority of households with toddlers or school-age children are those who will benefit most from limiting a child's access to an elevator.

  • Multi-generational Homes

    • When children and elderly family members live in the same house, the child safety lock helps reduce the risk of accidental use.

  • Homes with Frequent Visitors

    • If there are children that frequently visit your home, having a child safety lock installed will limit any accidental elevator use.

How Do Child Safety Locks Work?

  • Access Control

    • The child safety lock makes the elevator unusable for a child.

  • Misuse Prevention

    • If a child activates the elevator boxing, it will not operate until the box is activated by an adult.

  • Adult-controlled Usage

    • Children in your family will be able to use the elevator only if instructed to do so by an adult.

  • Residential Safety System Integration

    • In addition to being able to work as a standalone product, the child safety lock will integrate seamlessly with your home's existing array of safety measures.
