- Replacing or upgrading door components: This includes replacing wear-prone parts like pulleys, steel cables, guides, and bearings, as well as updating the door operator. New systems often use variable frequency control for better energy efficiency and compatibility with new control panels.
Improving control systems: If the elevator control system is updated, and the old door system is incompatible with the new control panel, adjustments or replacements may be needed for system compatibility and stability.
Adding safety devices: To ensure passenger safety, elevator standards have become stricter. The door system must meet the latest safety regulations, including anti-pinch devices and strength testing requirements.
Changing door types: Changes in building use or customer preferences may require modifying door operation, size, adding floor stations, or switching from non-fireproof doors to fireproof ones.
Aesthetic requirements: Customers may have higher aesthetic demands, desiring the door system to match the architectural interior style.
