How we repair your Elevator
A residential elevator is a small cab that moves between floors in a shaft using a hydraulic, traction, cable drum or vacuum drive, with landing doors, a gate and a controller. An elevator uses a drive motor or hydraulic pump, a drive system of chains, belts, screws or cables, limit switches, safety sensors and a control board. A technician checks power and controls, safety devices, and the condition and alignment of the drive system.

Common Elevator problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Emergency phone or alarm not working
- Likely causes
- A dead phone line or cellular module, a failed alarm bell, or a disconnected wire in the travel cable.
- What our technician checks
- The phone, alarm and travel cable are tested.
Rough or jerky ride
- Likely causes
- Worn guide rollers or shoes, dry rails, or valve and drive settings out of adjustment.
- What our technician checks
- Rails, rollers and drive settings are inspected and the ride is tested between floors.
Doors or gate will not open or close
- Likely causes
- A failed door operator, a misaligned interlock, or a damaged accordion gate.
- What our technician checks
- The door operator, interlock and gate track are inspected and adjusted.
Battery lowering not working during outages
- Likely causes
- Weak emergency batteries, a failed battery charger, or a lowering valve fault.
- What our technician checks
- The emergency battery and charger are load-tested and the lowering function is simulated.
Does not level with the floor
- Likely causes
- Worn leveling sensors, hydraulic fluid temperature changes, a leaking valve, or a slipping drive.
- What our technician checks
- Leveling is measured at each floor, sensors are adjusted and the drive or hydraulic system is checked for drift.
Cab will not move
- Likely causes
- A landing door or cab gate not fully closed, a tripped safety circuit, a power outage, or a controller fault.
- What our technician checks
- The technician reads controller fault codes and checks every door lock and safety switch in the circuit.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Make sure every landing door and the cab gate are fully closed.
- Check that the elevator disconnect and breakers are on.
- Look for objects blocking the gate or door tracks.
- Note any fault code on the controller display to share with the technician.
- Test the emergency phone and alarm button.
Safety first: Elevator shafts, pits and door interlocks are serious crush and fall hazards, so never bypass a door lock or enter the shaft yourself.
