Door Lock Monitoring Assessment for Elevators

Talk to an Elevator Advisor

As elevator safety requirements evolve, elevator door lock monitoring has become a vital component of compliance and risk management for building owners and property managers. An elevator door lock monitoring assessment is a specialized evaluation that verifies your elevators are protected against dangerous faults that might allow movement with doors open or unlocked. Modern elevator codes, such as ASME A17.1 and A17.3, now require robust systems in most jurisdictions. ATIS goes beyond standard inspections with a suite of advanced elevator door lock monitoring services.

Elevator Door Lock Monitoring Compliance Assessment

DLM Assessment Includes:​

  • Onsite inspection of the elevator​

  • Discussion regarding whether elevators meet code​

  • Consultant advice on next steps

Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) systems ensure elevators remain securely stationary until their doors are fully closed. Aligning with ASME A17.3 standards, DLM is now a mandatory requirement in several jurisdictions, including New York, Florida, Nevada, and Georgia. In these states, DLM systems are crucial for elevator door safety compliance. Other jurisdictions, such as the states of Michigan and Illinois, are adopting this critical safety requirement. 

Depending on the age of your elevators, they may already be equipped with DLM. In some cases, only a parameter change is required. Through our inspections, we assess the status of your DLM compliance and recommend the most cost-effective solutions. Elevator companies often give only one option, and not at the best price possible. Choose us for unbiased guidance with an elevator door safety assessment you can trust.

How Our Door Lock Monitoring Assessment Adds Value 

Many elevator owners aren’t sure if they need new hardware, a parameter update, or a complete system modernization. A precise assessment up front can save you significant money because it gives you insight into the exact upgrades or enhancements your system needs. By understanding the condition and capabilities of your current elevator door monitoring system, you avoid unnecessary modernization.

Our unbiased approach to the process includes:

  • Verifying the exact type and model of your elevator door monitoring system.

  • Conducting elevator door safety inspection procedures, like an elevator door lock audit, per the latest local code.

  • Assessing which changes are required for compliance, such as adding a new elevator door restriction device.

  • Ensuring that complex and expensive blanket proposals from contractors aren’t accepted if unnecessary.

We recommend a DLM assessment during modernization, compliance reviews, or changes of ownership, as well as prior to key regulatory deadlines. This ensures you're fully informed and able to make decisions in accordance with your system's precise needs.
