Frequently asked questions

The door opening type is one of the parameters considered when selecting lift equipment. It should be assessed together with the shaft dimensions, lift cabin configuration and number of entrances. The appropriate solution is therefore determined from the initial data of the specific project rather than separately from the other parameters.

This parameter should ideally be defined during the design stage together with the other lift equipment characteristics. This allows it to be coordinated with the shaft parameters, lift cabin and building layout. The final solution should be determined according to the needs and technical data of the specific project.

No. Passenger capacity is only one of the selection parameters. Rated load, shaft parameters, lift cabin dimensions, doors and other project data should also be considered. Selecting equipment based on a single characteristic may therefore be insufficient.

The number of entrances is a separate parameter that should be considered together with passenger capacity, rated load and lift cabin dimensions. It is also linked to the door and shaft configuration. These characteristics should therefore be coordinated as part of the overall lift selection process.

Not necessarily. Similar dimensions do not mean that the rated characteristics of two lifts are identical. Passenger capacity and rated load should be checked for each specific configuration.

First, it is important to make sure that the declared characteristics apply specifically to the glazed door construction being ordered. The product parameters should then be compared with the requirements of the particular project. Compliance should not be confirmed solely from the model name or the appearance of the door.

The shape and other glazing parameters form part of the specific door configuration. The preferred design should therefore be matched against the available confirmed versions. The shape of the vision panel should not be changed solely for architectural reasons without checking that the modified construction remains compliant.

Yes. A vision panel will usually affect the overall weight of the door leaf compared with a solid construction without glazing. This may influence the choice of hardware, hinges and installation method, so these details should be agreed together with the glazing parameters. The exact characteristics depend on the specific door model.

First, the proposed product should be compared with the project requirements and the required fire resistance rating. The construction, configuration and availability of documentary confirmation of the declared characteristics should also be checked. This makes it possible to assess the proposal according to specific parameters rather than the EI60 designation alone.

The same EI60 designation does not mean that all door constructions have the same design or configuration. The requirements for a specific product depend on the project solution. The characteristics and configuration should therefore be checked separately for each order.

Yes. EI60 door assemblies can have specific installation requirements, so the geometry of the opening and wall thickness should be compatible with the selected model. These parameters should be agreed with the manufacturer before ordering to avoid problems during installation. The exact requirements depend on the specific door construction.

No. The product name does not replace confirmation of its technical characteristics. It is important to make sure that the supporting documentation applies to the specific door construction being selected. This is particularly important when purchasing doors to meet project requirements.
