SAFETY LOCK
A safety lock in lifts is a critical safety mechanism that prevents the elevator doors (especially landing doors) from opening unless the elevator car is correctly aligned at the floor and safely stopped. Key Functions: Prevents door opening when the lift is not at the floor. Ensures passenger safety by avoiding accidental falls into the shaft. Works with door interlocks, which allow the lift to move only when doors are properly closed and locked. Common Types: Mechanical interlocks Electromechanical locks Magnetic or sensor-based locks
