Quality Elevator's Door Gap Gauge
We know what you wonder every time you step into your elevator. "Self," you ask yourself, "if only there were a single tool we could use to ensure compliance not only with regulations involving the clearance between the cab and the landing sills, but also the entrance-frame clearance and the closed position of the hoistway doors." But, as you probably despaired, "That's impossible! How could anyone ever come up with a tool like that? Why, as long as I'm dreaming, I may as well wish that such a tool could measure the restricted opening of either the hoistway doors or the cab doors! But alas..."
Despair no longer. The Illinois company Quality Elevator, founded in 1983, not only makes elevator motors, pit switches, rail clamps, cab pads, door restrictors and, yes, even wedge sockets, but you don't even have to know what a single one of those things are. Why? Because they're elevator doo-hickeys — and since this here company may be the doo-hickiest of them all, its new elevator door-gap gauge can measure every one of those things we mentioned and probably more.
Made of anodized aluminum and ostensibly small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, this tool, in all seriousness, can help you comply with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' ASME A17.1-2000 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators.
