Our Proven Process for Custom Residential Elevator Design & Installation
The maximum interior clear area of a residential elevator cab is 15 square feet. That area is calculated by multiplying the interior width and the measurement from the rear of the cab to the inside of the folding gate in its open position.
The pit is usually made of concrete and the walls of the shaft are typically wood studs covered with drywall or plywood.
The width of a wheelchair is 28”. The desirable width of a door that allows for a wheelchair to pass through it is 32”, though a wider door is more desirable if space allows.
Use doors that match the rest of the house and that also meet the local building code. By doing so, it appears like a closet door and blends in well.
The two main types are Accordion Gates and Scissor Gates. Accordion Gates come in many colors and finishes, we find them more user friendly. Scissor Gates, similar to the ones you might see in an old movie, tend to be temperamental and can pinch your fingers very easily.
