The first thing the building shows you.

Cab doors

Seen closed far more often than open.

A passenger waiting in the lobby looks at the doors, not the cab. They are the only part of an elevator interior that faces outward, which makes them the part that sets the expectation for everything behind them.

Opening configuration

From the centre, or to one side.

The configuration is a function of the shaft, not of taste: a centre opening needs the width for two panels to park on both jambs, while a side opening stacks them on one. Shown here half open, where the difference actually reads.

2 configurations

Two elevator entrance configurations half open: centre opening with two panels parting symmetrically, and side opening with the panels stacked to one jamb

Center OpeningTwo panels part from the middle and park on both jambs. The faster clear opening, and the usual choice when the shaft allows it.

Side OpeningTwo-speed telescopic: both panels travel to the same side. It buys a full-width opening out of a narrower shaft.

Door finishes

Four finishes, one frame.

Satin stainless steel is what most buildings expect. The three coated finishes exist for lobbies where the doors should read as part of the wall rather than as equipment.

4 finishes

Four elevator cab door finishes shown closed: Stainless Steel number 3 satin, Architectural White powder coat, Graphite Black powder coat and Anodized Bronze

Opening configuration is set by the shaft and the existing entrance; confirm it against the survey before specifying. The four finishes apply to the cab doors, and the entrance frames are supplied in satin stainless steel.
