Does your elevator have doors the user opens by hand? This type has its own parts that wear in a different way, and replacing it is not the same as replacing an automatic door.

What is included

What does Semi-automatic doors include?

The work covers the cabin door, the landing doors and the closing mechanism, and we choose with you what suits your building.

Hinged cabin door
Opens by hand and closes by a spring, replaced when the hinge sags or the door strikes its frame.
Landing doors by floor
Each floor has its own door and frame, replaced according to its individual wear.
Guides and rollers
They govern the door path; when worn the door becomes heavy or leaves its track.
Door lock and contact switch
Confirms the door is fully shut before the cabin moves, checked with every replacement.
Return spring and closing mechanism
Returns the door to closed after the passenger enters; if it weakens the elevator stops.
Door finish and surface
Touched and pulled daily, so its finish is chosen to withstand repeated handling.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

A door closed by hand that never quite shuts

The semi-automatic door relies on a spring and rollers rather than a motor, so when the spring weakens or the rollers wear the door seems to work but never closes fully. The contact switch then does not complete its circuit, the elevator stops, and the user assumes the fault is somewhere else.

Parts chosen and set together

We start with the spring, the rollers and the lock because they work as one system in a semi-automatic door. Changing the door panel alone without checking the closing mechanism brings the problem back quickly. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us the number of floors and what you notice, and we agree the details.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

How do I know my semi-automatic elevator doors need replacing rather than repairing?

If the door closes but the elevator stops now and then without an obvious cause, the spring or rollers have usually worn to the point where they no longer return the door to a full close. Repeated repairs for the same fault are a sign that the parts have passed their working life and need replacing rather than adjusting.

Should I replace doors on all floors or only the faulty floor?

Replacing one floor door is possible when wear is limited to that floor, which is common on the busiest floors such as the ground. But if the doors are close in age and signs appear on more than one floor, replacing them together avoids repeated stoppages later. We decide with you what suits your building once you tell us what you notice.

What should I prepare before the semi-automatic doors are replaced?

Tell residents the elevator will be out of use during the work, especially in a residential building. Make sure every floor with a door is easy to reach. It also helps to decide on the finish beforehand and to check the size of the existing opening, because semi-automatic door sizes vary from one building to another.

What should I check in the semi-automatic door after installation?

Open the door fully then release it and watch whether it returns to a complete close on its own without help. Check that the elevator does not move while the door is open even a finger's width. Do this at every floor, because the effect of the guide rollers and the spring adjustment can vary floor to floor after installation.

Why does planning to replace a semi-automatic door differ from planning for an automatic one?

An automatic door relies on an electric operator that can be adjusted regardless of how hard the user pushes, whereas a semi-automatic door depends on a mechanical spring whose weight and tension are matched to the chosen door. The door type, finish and weight must therefore be decided first, and then the right spring is chosen to suit it, not the other way round.
