🔧 Don’t Get Caught in the OEM Trap

When evaluating elevator equipment, the upfront installation cost is only part of the story. Many OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) systems rely on proprietary hardware and software that can limit your service options and create long-term dependence on a single provider.

Once installed, these systems often require specialized tools, keys, software, and parts that may only be available through the original manufacturer. While the initial price may seem attractive, building owners and facility managers can face higher maintenance and repair costs over the life of the elevator due to restricted access to parts and service providers.

Choosing a non-proprietary elevator system gives owners:

✔ More service provider options
✔ Greater parts availability
✔ Increased supply chain flexibility
✔ Better control over long-term maintenance costs

At Liberty Elevator Corporation, we work exclusively with non-proprietary elevator hardware and software, giving property owners and facility managers the freedom to choose. Freedom from limited service options. Freedom from vendor lock-in. And most importantly, the freedom to partner with the service providers and suppliers that are the best fit for your business.

Your elevator is a long-term investment. Make sure you’re evaluating the total cost of ownership, not just the installation price.

🕯️ September 11, 2001 — 25 Years Later, We Remember. We Rise.

Today marks 25 years since the attacks of September 11, a day that reshaped our nation and revealed the extraordinary courage, unity, and resilience of the American people.

We honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families who have carried unimaginable strength through every year since. 🗽

At Liberty Elevator Corporation, legacy is something we build every day, through craftsmanship, community, and care. On this anniversary, we’re reminded that legacy is also built through service, sacrifice, and the quiet determination of those who showed up when the world needed them most.

Even in our darkest moments, we rise. Together. 🤝

Here's to the Last Summer Weekend and a Celebration of Union Strength

Labor Day began in the late 1800s as a bold statement from America’s labor unions, a day to honor the men and women whose hard work built the nation’s infrastructure, industries, and communities. What started as marches and advocacy for fair wages, safer working conditions, and dignity in the workplace eventually became a federal holiday in 1894, recognizing the essential contributions of organized labor.

Over time, Labor Day has evolved into something uniquely American: a moment to celebrate workers and a cultural marker that signals the unofficial end of summer, one last long weekend before the busy season begins again.

At Liberty Elevator Corporation, we’re proud to stand on that legacy. As a union elevator company partnered with the IUEC - International Union of Elevator Constructors, we honor the craftsmanship, safety, and professionalism that union labor represents. Our teams in New York, New Jersey, and Florida carry forward the same spirit that shaped Labor Day itself, dedication, skill, and a commitment to keeping our communities moving.

🗽 Here’s to a safe, restful, well‑earned Labor Day weekend.

Why Non‑Proprietary Elevator Equipment Protects Your Building for the Long Haul

When you’re planning elevator upgrades or modernizations, the choice between proprietary vs. non‑proprietary equipment has real consequences for your building’s budget, flexibility, and long‑term reliability.

And that security comes from one thing: freedom 🗽

Here’s what building owners gain when they choose non‑proprietary systems:

🔹 Open Access to Parts
No exclusive OEM pipelines. Multiple manufacturers produce compatible components, keeping costs competitive and supply chains resilient.

🔹 Vendor Flexibility
You’re not locked into one manufacturer for 20–30 years. Choose the service provider that delivers the best value, response time, and customer experience.

🔹 Lower Long‑Term Costs
Proprietary systems may be cheaper upfront, but they often cost more to maintain. Non‑proprietary equipment avoids inflated parts pricing and premium labor rates.

🔹 No Planned Obsolescence
OEMs can discontinue parts in as little as three years, forcing expensive replacements. Open‑market equipment avoids this trap.

🔹 Faster Repairs & Less Downtime
Technicians don’t need special keys, tools, or locked software. Diagnostics are built in, and any qualified mechanic can service the system.

🔹 Easier Compliance & Upgrades
Non‑proprietary systems follow universal industry standards, making inspections, modernization, and code compliance far more straightforward.

🔹 Future‑Proofing
Upgrade components as technology evolves, without replacing the entire elevator system.

🔹 Reduced Risk
If a manufacturer goes out of business or drops a product line, you’re not stuck. You have options.

🔹 Broader Technician Expertise
More mechanics are trained on non‑proprietary systems, ensuring consistent service quality and availability.

At Liberty Elevator, we believe in giving building owners choice, transparency, and long‑term value. Non‑proprietary equipment isn’t just a technical decision, it’s a strategic one.

🚨 Florida Elevator Code Update 🚨

Elevator codes are complex, and their deadlines can shift, making it even more critical to have a reliable elevator partner who keeps you informed and compliant.

Florida’s elevator safety requirements continue to evolve, and one of the most significant updates impacting existing elevators is the Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) requirement under ASME A17.3 Section 3.10.12. While the State of Florida has extended enforcement until August 1, 2029, delaying action could mean higher costs, limited equipment availability, and longer installation timelines as thousands of elevators statewide require upgrades.

Understanding what DLM is, and why it matters for passenger safety, is essential for commercial property owners, facility managers, HOAs, and building engineers. Proactive planning now ensures your building stays compliant while minimizing disruption.

Liberty Elevator Corporation has the experience, resources, and manpower to guide you through the DLM compliance process.

☎️ Request a survey of your elevator equipment today and take the next step toward keeping your building safe, reliable, and code‑ready.
