Elevator IFD Door

Elevators use two different sets of doors: doors on the cars and doors opening into the elevator shaft. The doors on the cars are operated by an electric motor, which is hooked up to the elevator controller. The electric motor turns a wheel, which is attached to a long metal arm.Broadly speaking, there are two categories of elevator doors – manual and automatic. You can still find manual elevator doors in old buildings, but the newest construction now opts for automatic doors. They come with the added benefits of speed controls, motion sensors, obstacle detection, and more.There are two separate door systems for standard elevators, the landing doors, and cab doors. If your elevator is built into a hoistway you'll need a door at each landing and a separate door for each cab entrance.
