5 Elevator Door Types
You Didn’t Know Existed

Cibes Lift – Luxury Home lift Cibes Voyager V90 Galaxy is the high-end screw driven lift

There are many, many elevator door types. While the most common is the sliding (or telescopic) door, it is often ill-suited to smaller home elevators. This is because of a higher rate of breakage, high use of space, and more risk to users while closing.

Meanwhile, some of the following have become architect favorites for home lifts, while others are still viewed as too funky or impractical. Which ones did you already know?

1. Swing Doors

These doors are the golden standard for home elevators. Easy to use, similar to other doors in the house and extremely long-lived, these doors are perfect for homes.

There’s a reason why individual cars prefer swing doors: low amount of moving parts means the door can last unexpectedly long with little to no repairs.

Not to mention that with Cibes’ recessed handles and full glass look, it can come off as quite luxurious.

Now that is a door!

Cibes Lift is Swing Door for Elegance and Aurora tiers, Cibes Lift have many swing doors types, Let’s talk with us now!

2. Saloon Doors

These are the new hip choice when it comes to home lift doors. Combining the full glass feel of the swing with the luxurious open of a sliding door, saloon doors provide that added touch of class.

There is nothing quite as unique as a saloon door automatically opening.

While the added automatic door openers mean there is likely to be more maintenance than with a classic Swing door, the saloon doors make up for it with looks!

Cibes Lift have ‘Saloon door’ for customers too, V90i is the high-end functions for your home lift.

3. Bi-Folding Doors

The most space-saving of the options so far, bifolding doors split into four panes of doors.

However, instead of offering the “best of both worlds”, they tend to do the opposite. They save more space, but still not as much as sliding doors. Meanwhile, they have even more moving parts, meaning even more risks of breakage. 

Not to mention that the quadruple pain severely damages the look and feel of the doors, ditching the full glass panes for a “prison window” look.

Bi Folding Doors is old designed and is discomfort for elderly and disabled person themselves. Let’s check Home lift for Elderly Lift and Disabled Person now!!

4. Cage Doors

Hugely popular at the start of the 20th Century, cage doors have essentially disappeared except for renovations of antique lifts.

While the lack of glass and a “prison” feel certainly don’t help, the main issue with these kind of doors is the gigantic safety risk.

Stick a finger through the grills and go up… and you’ll have one less finger!

Cool, but impractical with today’s safety standards.

Cage Doors is old design lift for other country, it is look like jail but it is very safety, strong and durable.

5. Curtain Doors

One day, we imagine, someone looked at the four doors above, and wondered: how can I take all their disadvantages and roll it into one?

The wonderful result?

Curtain doors.

• No glass
• Catchment risk
• Lots of moving parts

Curtain Doors is very specifications for use, We think it can not find this design in the Thailand
