Build Your Home Elevator Door System the Right Way

Every residential elevator runs on two coordinated door types: the elevator cab door, which travels with the cab and encloses the interior during travel, and the landing door, which stays fixed at each floor and locked when the elevator isn’t present. Together they determine how the system performs, integrates with the architecture, and meets ASME A17.1 code. American Elevator helps homeowners, architects, and builders across the Southeast select Cibes Symmetry residential elevator doors that fit the elevator model, the hoistway, and the home.

Get the Door Configuration Right Before Framing Begins

Door pairing, hoistway clearances, and finish coordination all need to be locked in before installation starts. Talk to our team early so the home elevator doors you specify are the ones that actually get installed.

Two Door Systems, One Coordinated Decision

Every Cibes Symmetry home elevator pairs an elevator cab door with a compatible landing door. The two pieces aren’t independent products. They get specified together based on the elevator model, the hoistway dimensions, and the design goals for each landing.

  • Elevator Cab Door Options

    The elevator cab door is the panel that travels with the cab and secures the interior during operation. Cibes Symmetry options include the Three Panel Car Door, an automatic glass system with expansive vision panels available in 7’0″ or 7’11” heights and 33″ or 36″ widths, well suited to luxury home elevator installations and modern residential interiors.

  • Landing Door Options

    Landing doors stay fixed at each floor and locked when the elevator isn’t present. Cibes Symmetry’s Two-Speed and Three-Speed Landing Doors deliver smooth, fully automatic sliding doors with low-noise motor technology and a wide range of stainless steel and powder-coated finishes. The Automatic Double Landing Door uses narrower center-opening blades to reduce swing radius, which makes it the right call for tight landings and wheelchair-accessible entries. We help you pair landing door styles to the trim, cabinetry, and architectural detail on every floor of a traditional home elevator build.

  • Door Pairing, Compatibility, and Finish Selection

    Car doors and landing doors aren’t selected independently. Compatibility depends on your elevator model, hoistway dimensions, and local code requirements, so both get confirmed before any work begins. Finish options range from clear glass and tempered vision panels to satin and brushed stainless steel and powder-coated colors, with glass elevator doors working especially well where light flow and sightlines are part of the design intent. For existing systems, American Elevator also handles elevator door replacement on Cibes Symmetry equipment and compatible legacy installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Cibes Symmetry residential elevator doors are available in stainless steel, powder-coated, glass, and laminate finishes that coordinate with surrounding trim, cabinetry, and architectural detail. Our team walks through finish options during specification so the door reads as part of the room rather than an industrial add-on.

Yes. Door hardware, interlocks, and automatic operators should be inspected as part of routine annual maintenance. American Elevator’s in-house technicians service the door systems on equipment we’ve installed, so you’re not tracking down a separate vendor when something needs attention.

Automatic sliding doors require a power door operator, which factors into the electrical specification for the system. American Elevator accounts for door operator requirements during the planning phase so there are no surprises during rough-in or inspection.
