Hoistway Door Closer

March 16, 2012

“ Best Kept Secret in the Elevator Industry”, Now Available Direct to Building Owners

The most predominant reason for costly service calls on elevators usually pertains to hoistway doors. Millions of dollars are spent annually by building owners on service calls as a result of metal fatigue on contemporary Spring closers.

Industry Mogul Columbia Elevator preformed a million cycle test on SmarTork reel closers and found “ No significant deviation in torque and tension ratios.” Which is why Columbia elevator uses SmarTork closers on all door systems they manufacture.

SmarTork crosses torque and tension ratios, this means the door has more tension in “closed” position than “opened”. Where it belongs to overcome wind and pressure issues in the hoistway.

Other Benefits include:

  • Over comes Wind Loads
  • Quieter Operation( No Bearing Noise)
