What Are Elevator Door Space Guards?
Elevator door space guards are protective barriers designed to reduce the dangerous gap between your elevator's inner gate and the hoistway door. This gap, if too large, can create a serious entrapment hazard where children or small adults could become trapped.
Our space guards are manufactured from sturdy and durable 1/8" ABS textured plastic, carefully calibrated to align with 36" elevator doors, ensuring a secure closure and peace of mind for both passengers and homeowners.

Understanding ASME A17.1 Code Requirements
The national safety code for elevators has evolved to better protect families. Here's what you need to know:
Pre-2016 Code
Elevators installed per ASME A17.1 code prior to 2016:
Allowed gap between hoistway door and hoistway edge
Current Code (2016+)
Elevators installed per ASME A17.1 code since 2016:
Maximum allowed gap between hoistway door and hoistway edge
⚠️ If your elevator was installed before 2016, it likely has a dangerous gap that exceeds current safety standards. Space guards bring your elevator into compliance and protect your family.
