Residential Elevators Recalls Elevator StrikeLock Hoistway Door Locking Device Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fall and Injury Hazards
Residential Elevators, Inc., of Crawfordville, Florida
Stop using residential elevator with StrikeLock locking device
A faulty door locking device in some residential elevators can fail to prevent the elevator cage from moving while the landing door is open. This creates a serious fall and injury hazard. About 450 elevators installed since April 2024 are affected.
- Stop using your residential elevator immediately if it has a StrikeLock hoistway door locking device (silver, looks like a standard door latch in the door frame)
- Contact Residential Elevators or your local elevator installer to confirm if your system has this device
