Florida Code Update
Elevator Door Lock Monitoring

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) recently updated Florida building code A17.3-2015 to contain the retroactive requirement 3.10.12 which requires a system to monitor the position and state of Elevator cab doors and prevent a cab from operating when the door is not closed. This code update affects over 80,000 elevators across Florida, all of which must be in compliance with new code by December 31, 2023.

TK Elevator’s team is available across the state of Florida to help you comply with the new building code. Regardless of the age of your elevator system, our certified technicians are experienced in modernizing your system to comply with new Elevator Door Lock Monitoring regulations — regardless of the manufacturer of your elevator.

We're Here to Help

Our local technicians can help you bring your elevators into compliance. We just need some information from you to get started.

Your elevator must comply with the new Florida building code no later than the end of 2023. The consequences of non-compliance to the new code regulations include taking the elevator out of service, substantial fines or suspended insurance coverage for the building. Failure to act soon risks long material lead times, violations and increased pricing to complete your installation as vendors will be dealing with a backlog of last-minute installations.
