Operation

Safety of Use
A Savaria home elevator uses an interlock system. When you call the elevator, you will only be able to open the hall door when the elevator has safely stopped and it releases the lock on the landing door.

Emergency Operation
If there is a power failure, a Savaria home elevator includes a battery operated lowering system that is activated by pressing the button for any landing below you. The elevator will slowly lower to this landing and if you have an automatic gate, it will open as well.

One Touch Alert

Optional Two-Way Emergency Communications

The Savaria One Touch alert system allows a user to press one button to reach pre-programmed phone numbers in case of an emergency. An owner-supplied pre-paid nano sim card is installed by your local dealer for this feature.

Gates & Door

Savaria dealers understand the importance of a safe installation and abide by safety code standards

If you choose an accordion-style or bi-fold gate and pair this with a swing-style landing door, there is a maximum gap that must not be exceeded between the elevator cab gate and the landing door. Known as the ¾" and 4" rule, the hoistway (inside) of the landing door and landing sill cannot exceed ¾", and the distance between the hoistway side of the landing door and cab gate cannot exceed 4 inches.

Both our Auto Slim and Luxury Flush doors
ensure compliance with the ¾" and 4" rule.

Modernization

Expected Life

A Savaria home elevator is designed and built to last many years. As long as the elevator is maintained, it should last 15 to 20 years or more. At that time, the elevator can be modernized to include replacing the electronics with current systems, and also updating the elevator cab, or adding automatic doors. This can extend the life of the elevator as though it were brand new again.
