COVID-19 Notice

Preferred Elevator would like to assure our customers that we are taking all necessary steps to do our part in flattening the curve of COVID-19. We have developed a “No Family Contact” process for service, repairs and installations. Our Mechanic, who will be wearing a mask and gloves, will call you when we are at your front door and will discuss the issues or concerns you have with your unit. Our customer can then unlock the door, but there is no need to further greet the Mechanic or be present for the service, repair or installation. Please feel free to move to another part of the home while we are working. Final payment can be left for technician or can be done over the phone with our office.
We greatly appreciate your business during this time.

Sincerely,
Ken Gough

URGENT SAFETY NOTICE

Elevators installed with more than 4 inches of “gap space” between the hoistway doors and the elevator car doors can pose a serious safety risk. Children may become entrapped in the space and could be seriously injured or killed. This risk can be reduced with the proper installation of space guards at each floor.

What Can Cause Your Home Elevator to Become Stuck

What Can Cause Your Home Elevator to Become Stuck

Here are reasons your home elevator could get stuck.

If you have a home elevator, you want it to be functional at all times. Unfortunately, there can be times when your elevator doesn’t work how you want, which can cause it to become stuck. Knowing why your elevator could get stuck will help be of use to you because you’ll know how to avoid those situations whenever possible. Here are reasons your home elevator could get stuck.

You Worked With an Elevator Company That Lacks Experience

An elevator installation is not easy by any means, but that doesn’t change the fact that it needs to be installed correctly. If you work with an inexperienced elevator company, they might not hook it up properly, meaning your elevator could be more likely to get stuck. That’s why you should always work with a dependable elevator installation company that has plenty of experience, as well as positive reviews, backing up their services.

You Don’t Address Problems With Your Elevator

It’s never a good idea to put off repairs, no matter what’s broken around your house. If you see that your home elevator is dealing with problems, you need to deal with those problems immediately. Failure to do so could result in your elevator getting stuck while it’s in motion.

There are certain signs that will tell you when your elevator isn’t doing so well. You might hear strange squealing sounds, or you could feel some jerking motions while the elevator is being used. Perhaps your elevator isn’t moving as quickly as it once did. No matter which of these signs you see, you’ll want to get your elevator examined by a professional elevator repair company. A professional will be able to identify problems with your elevator, and restore the elevator to peak condition.
