Elevator 101 | How Does Door Lock Monitoring Work?
Elevator doors have more going on behind the scenes than you might think!
Door Lock Monitoring adds another layer of oversight to an elevator’s door safety system. It helps verify that door position and locking circuits are reporting the conditions the elevator expects—helping identify certain abnormal or potentially unsafe conditions.

Follow along with our Elevator 101 series as we break down the systems, features, and components that keep elevators moving safely and reliably.
