An elevator door subsystem including a hanger mount, a leveling cam, an engaging member, and a roller assembly, configured such that when the roller assembly is positioned on one side of the elevator door hanger, the hanger mount is positioned within an opening of the elevator door hanger, and the leveling cam is positioned on another side of the elevator door hanger, the engaging member is receivable by the roller assembly after the engaging member is passed through an opening in the leveling cam, an opening in the hanger mount, and the opening in the door hanger.

In an elevator car door apparatus, a locking member is disposed on a blade-carrying car door, and is displaceable between an unlocked position and a locked position interdependently with movement of a doorstop-side blade. A guiding portion is disposed on the locking member. A guiding cam is disposed outside the blade-carrying car door. When the car is positioned outside an appropriate floor alignment position, the blade-carrying car door moves in an opening direction, the guiding portion moves along the guiding cam, the locking member displaces to the locked position, and the doorstop-side blade also displaces to a locking accommodating position, the locking member catches in a fixed latch, and movement of the blade-carrying car door in the opening direction is prevented.

Elevator systems are provided. The elevator systems include an elevator car movable along an elevator shaft having a pit floor and a shaft top, the elevator car having a car door lock arranged to enable opening of doors by a landing door lock mechanism when the elevator car is located at a landing and an elevator safety system. The elevator safety system includes a car door lock securing device arranged to prevent manual opening of the elevator car doors when in a first state and permits opening of the elevator car doors when in a second state and a car apron affixed to the car door sill and operable from a stowed state to a deployed state, wherein when the car apron transitions from the stowed state to the deployed state, the car door lock securing device is transitioned from the first state to the second state.

A device for a lift system for actuating at least one cabin or shaft door (13, 16) is provided with a coupling mechanism (25) which can be fastened to a moveable cabin door (16) of a cabin (15). In addition, a plate unit (40) co-operating with the coupling mechanism (25) is provided which can be fixed onto a shaft door (13) on the respective story (12). The coupling mechanism (25) has a coupling element (24) that can be adjusted transversely to the latter or to the cabin door (16) and which can be moved from a drawn back position into a position coupled with a counter-element of the plate unit (40). This adjustable coupling element (24) and the counter-element of the plate unit (40) are advantageously each made to be magnetic, by means of which sufficient adhesive force can be generated in the coupled position. This device enables proper functioning during operation of a lift system, even if there are breakdowns.
