An illustrative example elevator door interlock includes a base, a plurality of interlock bumpers supported on the base, and a latch supported on the base for movement relative to the base between a door locking position and a released position. The plurality of interlock bumpers are supported on the base with a gap between the plurality of interlock bumpers. Each of the interlock bumpers includes a contact surface configured to contact at least one vane supported on an elevator car door. Each of the interlock bumpers remains rotationally fixed relative to the base. The latch includes a latch bumper that is situated relative to the gap such that the at least one vane contacts the latch bumper and urges the latch into the released position when the at least one vane is at least partially in the gap.

An illustrative example method of positioning an elevator door interlock includes positioning an elevator car in a hoistway near the hoistway door so that at an elevator door coupler is aligned with the interlock, opening a door of the elevator car and the hoistway door, accessing an adjustment mechanism supporting the interlock from outside of the hoistway, and using the adjustment mechanism to adjust a position of the interlock relative to the hoistway door from outside the hoistway.

An illustrative example elevator door interlock includes a latch situated for pivotal movement about a pivot axis between a door locking position and a released position. At least one base is configured to be selectively movable relative to the pivot axis. A plurality of door movement bumpers are supported on the at least one base. Selective movement of the at least one base relative to the pivot axis adjusts an alignment position of the door movement bumpers.

The disclosure provides for a locking system for an elevator car door that includes a locking apparatus mounted to the elevator car door. The locking apparatus includes an elevator door latch arm, a sensing vane, and a fixed vane. The elevator door latch arm has one end configured to be inserted into a catch to lock the elevator car door. The sensing and fixed vanes are generally parallel to one another. When the elevator car door is aligned with a hoistway door, an outer surface of the sensing vane is configured to engage with a roller on the hoistway door, and an outer surface of the fixed vane is configured to engage with another roller on the hoistway door. When both the first and second rollers are engaged by the sensing and fixed vanes, the locking apparatus is configured to remove the elevator door latch arm from the catch.

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.
