A door frame system comprises a wall and a door frame. The door frame comprises a sub-buck portion and a shell portion, coupled to the sub-buck portion. The sub-buck portion comprises a sub-buck mounting arm including at least one mounting aperture, a sub-buck rabbet arm coupled to one end of the sub-buck mounting arm and a sub-buck support arm coupled to the sub-buck mounting arm opposite the sub-buck rabbet arm. The sub-buck portion is surface mounted to a single surface of the wall through the at least one mounting aperture.

An elevator system has a rail system and a shaft door assembly on each of a plurality of floors of a building. The rail system has an electrically conductive guide rail that extends along the plurality of floors and guides a vertically movable component of the elevator system, and an electrically conductive bracket on each of the floors anchoring the guide rail to a wall of the building. The guide rail is electrically conductively connected to each of the brackets. Each shaft door assembly has a movable shaft door for openable closing of a shaft opening of the floor and an associated control device and/or drive device for moving the shaft door; wherein the control device and/or drive device is supplied with electrical energy via two electrically conductive paths with a first of the electrically conductive paths being formed over at least parts of the rail system.

A car controller for an elevator car of an elevator system can be arranged on the elevator car. The car controller obtains a primary door opening request from an elevator controller of the elevator system, obtains at least one control signal, the at least one control signal indicating whether the elevator car is in a state intended for opening a car door of the elevator car, and transmits or withholds a secondary door opening request on the basis of the primary door opening request and the at least one control signal.

A system for elevator door sensor fusion, fault detection, and service notification is provided. The system includes a processor and a memory including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include monitoring outputs of a plurality of sensors. It is determined whether the outputs of the plurality of sensors follow an expected pattern. Based at least in part on determining that the outputs of the plurality of sensors do not follow the expected pattern: identifying a sensor in the plurality of sensors that is not following the expected pattern, and transmitting a notification indicating that the sensor is exhibiting unexpected behaviour.
