Residential Elevator Door Options
The right door makes the difference. We offer custom configurations for every home elevator we install.
Our Door Options
Every elevator system Access Lifts Florida installs offers door configurations tailored to the product, the hoistway, and the home’s design. Here’s what’s available.
Swing Doors
Home elevator swing doors are the “standard” residential elevator door option and remain a popular choice for their clean, familiar operation.
Automatic Elevator Doors
Available on select systems including the Symmetry Dream and Symmetry Asterix, automatic doors are a premium upgrade that adds real daily value.
Glass Elevator Doors
Glass doors reinforce the panoramic experience of a glass cab elevator and work especially well in modern, contemporary, and open-concept designs.
Two-Speed Car and Landing Doors
A clean, space-efficient solution that doesn’t require clearance for a swing arc. These are ideal for tighter hoistway configurations and homes where landing space is at a premium.
Custom Elevator Doors
Panel materials, finish colors, hardware styles, and glazing options can all be tailored to complement the surrounding space.
Elevator Doors Are Part of the Installation
Elevator door selection is a decision made during the planning and design phase of every new home elevator installation.
Access Lifts Florida works with homeowners, architects, and interior designers to choose the right door configuration, operation style, and finish for each project. The door is often the most visible part of the elevator from inside the home, so getting it right matters both functionally and aesthetically. Below is a breakdown of the door options available across the products we install.
Not Sure Which Door Configuration Is Right for Your Home?
Our team helps homeowners and designers navigate door options based on hoistway dimensions, aesthetic goals, and how the elevator will be used day to day. Let’s talk through your project.
Door Options by Product
Different elevator systems support different door configurations. Here’s a quick reference for the products we install most frequently.
The Symmetry Dream and Symmetry Asterix both support swing doors, automatic doors, two-speed car and landing doors, and a three-panel car door option, giving homeowners maximum flexibility to match the cab’s wood interior with a door style that fits the home.
The Cibes Air features its own integrated door system as part of its all-glass panoramic cab design, available in multiple configurations.
The Cibes Ascenda uses fully automatic saloon doors as standard included at no additional cost. The Symmetry Enclosed and Symmetry Shaftway support same-side, straight-through, 90-degree, and 3-opening configurations depending on the platform size and site layout.
We also service and install Incilinator and Fox Valley doors. Reach out to us to learn more.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most popular home elevator door option?
Swing doors remain the most common choice for residential elevator door options—they’re clean, familiar, and available in a wide range of finishes and panel styles. Automatic doors are increasingly popular for homeowners who want a more refined, hands-free experience.
Can I get glass elevator doors on any system?
Glass door options are available on select systems, most notably the Cibes Air and certain enclosure configurations in the Cibes Symmetry lineup. Access Lifts Florida confirms glass door compatibility during the planning process based on your chosen system and hoistway layout.
Do door options affect residential elevator dimensions?
Yes. Swing doors require landing clearance for the door arc, while two-speed and automatic sliding doors don’t—making the latter a better fit for tighter spaces. Door configuration is factored into hoistway planning during the evaluation process.
What’s the difference between swing doors and automatic elevator doors?
Swing doors are manually operated—hinged at the side and pushed open at each landing. Automatic elevator doors open and close with a button press, requiring no manual effort. Both are available on multiple systems we install, and the right choice depends on your usage preferences, hoistway space, and design goals.
Can elevator doors be customized to match my home’s interior?
Yes. Custom elevator doors are available in a range of panel finishes, colors, hardware styles, and glazing options. Access Lifts Florida coordinates custom door selections with homeowners, interior designers, and architects as part of every new installation.
