Is your current door limiting your options?
In homes and small buildings the door opening is often too narrow for a full sliding automatic door. Worn doors mean noise at every floor, concern for the safety of family or tenants, and repair costs that keep adding up.
The existing doors are replaced with an automatic cabin door that opens and closes at each stop, and lightweight manual landing doors fitted with an electromechanical safety latch at every floor. The result is a smoothly running lift without widening the opening or altering the building structure.

From first visit to a working semi-automatic door
Tell us about your lift
The lift type, number of floors and the space available for the door opening, by call or WhatsApp.
Site visit and inspection
The technician measures the opening and checks the cabin and controller to confirm this door type suits your situation.
We give you a clear proposal
After the visit you know exactly what will be installed and how it works, with nothing left unclear.
Installation and handover
We fit the doors, adjust them and test the latches and safety interlocks before handing the lift back to you.
From our work
Why us
We adjust and test the electromechanical latch at every floor before handover, because a manual landing door that does not lock securely puts residents at direct risk.

Does a semi-automatic door suit your project?
Narrow home lift
A narrow shaft opening that cannot take a sliding automatic door is often a straightforward case for a manual landing door, without structural alterations.
Low-rise small building
Low and predictable traffic in a small building means a manual landing door reduces mechanical complexity at each floor without affecting daily use.
Replacing existing doors
Whether existing doors can be replaced with this type depends on the current opening size and controller compatibility, which the site visit will confirm.

Honest answers before you choose a semi-automatic door
What determines the cost of this change?
Cost is affected by the number of floors, the existing opening dimensions and whether the controller needs adjustment to work with this door type. If the frame requires modification, that will be reflected in the quote. The site visit settles each of these points before any figure is given.
Will the cabin door be functional throughout the door replacement work?
Whether the cabin remains usable during fitting depends on the condition of the existing landing doors and how much adjustment the operator mechanism requires. A clear answer is only possible after the site visit, and we will confirm the schedule with you before any work starts.
Will the installation cause much dust or noise in the building?
Replacing semi-automatic doors does not usually require construction work or breaking walls. Noise is limited to the mechanical and electrical fitting at each floor. If the specific situation calls for additional work, we will explain that after the site visit.
How do I know the landing doors and cabin door are properly coordinated once the work is done?
The cabin is only returned to normal use after every landing door interlock has been tested and we have verified that the operator will not release the cabin unless the landing door is fully latched. That test is carried out on every floor before we consider the job complete.
How do I know the installer really knows this door type?
Ask the technician to explain how they set the electromechanical latch and verify controller compatibility. A clear answer to those two questions tells you more than any general description.

All our servicesQuestions about semi-automatic doors
How exactly does a semi-automatic door work?
The cabin door opens and closes automatically at each floor, while the user opens and closes the landing door by hand. The cabin will not move unless the landing door is fully latched, thanks to an electromechanical safety catch on each floor.
Does this door type suit my home or building?
It is particularly well suited to home lifts and low-rise buildings where the door swings rather than slides and the opening is too narrow for a full automatic sliding door. The site visit confirms whether the dimensions and existing structure allow it.
Is the manual landing door safe?
Yes, provided it has a correctly fitted and adjusted electromechanical safety latch. This latch prevents the cabin from moving if the landing door is not fully closed, and prevents the door from opening if the cabin is not level with that floor. We check this specifically before handover.
What is the difference between this and a fully automatic door?
With a fully automatic door, the landing and cabin doors open together through a linked mechanical drive with no manual step. Here the landing door is manual, meaning simpler installation and fewer parts per floor. This makes it better suited to homes and small buildings, though the choice depends on the site dimensions and how the lift is used.
Can these doors be fitted to an existing lift to replace the current doors?
In many cases yes, but it depends on the existing opening dimensions and whether the controller is compatible with this door type. The site visit determines whether conversion is feasible and what adjustments are needed.
How do I know the manual landing door will not be a burden for daily users?
The manual landing door opens with light effort and suits typical home use. If the lift will see heavy traffic or serve users with limited mobility, the site visit helps assess whether this type remains the most appropriate choice.
Are spare parts for this door type available over the long term?
Semi-automatic door components are among the most common in home and small building lifts, making parts relatively easier to source than more complex systems. We will clarify this based on the specific components fitted to your lift.
