Elevator Door

[@baelevatorsmore728]

Always neat to see the insides of these things. It’s cool, every elevator equipment company has their own version and no two are exactly alike (to my knowledge). Neat video

[@MQElevators]

Thanks. I agree everyone has made a small change or tweak to make it their own.

[@lanman95]

I never knew about the "beak" that keeps the slow door panel from falling away. Great explanation!

[@MQElevators]

Thanks. There’s a couple different ways of doing it but these ones are user friendly.

[@robg836]

A lot of people hate doing doors, it's one of my favorite things to do

[@MQElevators]

It’s pretty satisfying when you get the doors running smooth.

Door equipment hall, cab, & operator issues are the cause of a lot of callouts. When I did new equipment adjusting and mod I always spent as much time as necessary to adjust them the best I could.

[@miguelquazar883]

Looks pretty clean in there.

[@NothereNah]

your videos are extremely helpful! thank you

[@gliese909]

Those sill mounted closers are one of the main things I detest about GAL door equipment. They're just big bulky, high-maintenance contraptions. They are the only company that still does that. All others are using the cable pulley on telescopic doors.

[@MQElevators]

I don’t like them either

[@upanddownadventures]

If you work on an elevator with motorized vertical doors (freight elevator), I would be curious to see a video of the door operators.

[@MQElevators]

I don’t have a freight with those doors.

Sorry I’m just seeing this, I really appreciate it! I have seen the inside of most of the newer Otis, but we have a ton of GAL on service as well. So cool you so the comment.

Hi mate, in my opinion GAL Equipment is the best , especially to work on, and definitely on resident buildings , it’s great to hear what other engineers in other countries call stuff, like you call it a clutch and we say skate .

[@MQElevators]

I agree with the GAL parts. Thanks for watching, I love checking out what other mechanics use too.

[@dvljet]

On squeaky rollers id use a white molly grease wd 40 works for a very very short time .

[@philipcollins3849]

We found that GAL door equipment is used in North American and Canada only independent contractors use it in the uk normally that is

[@MQElevators]

Might be similiar here

[@neil301]

thank you for sharing you day regards scotland uk

[@MQElevators]

👍

[@EasyRider-g1b]

sir, our elevator door squeaks when opening and wont close smoothly, it jerks can we use WD-40 spray on the rollers ?

[@MQElevators]

I think they should probably be replaced, a lot of hanger roller now are sealed bearings.

[@kph97]

We call the “beak” a peckerhead down in Texas lol

[@MQElevators]
