Elevator Doors – Frequently Asked Questions
What door configurations and standard sizes are available from Turkish manufacturers?
Turkish elevator door manufacturers produce single-panel side-opening (1S), two-panel side-opening (2S), two-panel center-opening (2CO), three-panel telescopic side-opening (3S), and four-panel center-opening (4CO) configurations. Standard clear opening widths range from 700 mm to 1100 mm; standard heights are 2000 mm, 2100 mm, and 2400 mm. Stainless steel (brushed and mirror finish), powder-coated steel, and glass-vision panel doors are all available. Custom dimensions and finishes are supported by most manufacturers.
What door operator systems do Turkish suppliers offer and which standards apply?
Turkish suppliers offer AC and DC motor-driven door operators with variable frequency drives for smooth, controlled door movement. Operators comply with EN 81-20 requirements for door closing force (maximum 150 N kinetic energy) and re-opening protection. CANopen and serial communication interfaces allow integration with all major elevator control systems. Both new-installation operators and retrofit models compatible with legacy systems are available.
What interlock and safety specifications do Turkish elevator landing doors meet?
Turkish landing door interlocks meet EN 81-20 Section 7.8 requirements, ensuring the lift cannot be operated unless all landing doors are closed and locked. Type-examined interlocks with CE certification are supplied as standard. Hoistway door panels are manufactured with the required fire resistance ratings (typically EI30 or EI60) where specified, and acoustic insulation options are available for noise-sensitive installations.
Can Turkish door systems be used for modernization of existing lifts with different brand doors?
Yes. Most Turkish door manufacturers offer adaptation kits and adjustable sill/door frame systems designed to retrofit into existing hoistway cutouts from major European and Asian door system brands. Sill alignment systems, new interlocks, and updated door operators can typically be installed without structural modification to the hoistway, making Turkish doors a highly cost-effective modernization solution.
