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.

Why to Get Your Elevator Installed by a Professional Elevator Mechanic

Why to Get Your Elevator Installed by a Professional Elevator Mechanic

There are many reasons why your elevator installation should be done by a licensed elevator mechanic.

A home elevator can be a great investment for your home. Home elevators give people a convenient way to get to the different levels of their home. For people who have physical limitations, home elevators might even be necessary for getting around the house. No elevator will be worth the investment, however, if it’s not installed properly. That’s why it’s crucial to get a professional elevator mechanic to perform the installation for you. There are many reasons why your elevator installation should be done by a licensed elevator mechanic.

Your Elevator Will Be As Safe As Possible

Safety can never be overlooked when installing a home elevator. By hiring a professional elevator mechanic, you’ll have someone in your corner who knows what safety procedures to follow to ensure that your elevator is safe to use. Also, since they’re the ones who installed the elevator, they’ll also know how to fix it if problems ever pop up.

They’ll Know What Building Codes and Regulations to Follow

When getting an elevator installed, it has to abide by the applicable building codes and regulations in your area. It can be hard to keep track of these rules if you don’t have experience installing elevators.

A licensed elevator mechanic makes things much easier. They’ll already be familiar with these regulations.. All home elevator installations require final inspection upon completion by the State of Maryland and only a licensed elevator mechanic can perform that inspection.  So, although you may have your elevator installed by a trained mechanic, if they’re not licensed the inspection cannot be completed. As such, they’ll know what protocols to follow so that your elevator is compliant with the regulations that are in place

Your Elevator Will Get Installed More Quickly

A professional elevator mechanic has plenty of experience installing elevators. This experience will allow them to complete the installation more quickly so you can enjoy your elevator sooner. This experience also keeps them from making mistakes during the installation, which helps to keep your elevator safe when you use it.
