Safety Edges - Door Protection Devices

We offer two safety edge options: the Optiguard Shield™ and the Panachrome+

Our Optiguard Shield™ Door Protection System uses 154 infrared emitters and detectors to create an invisible safety net across the elevator entrance. It continuously scans for interrupted beams, and will reopen the elevator doors instantly if one is found. Select your Optiguard ShieldTM based on your state's code compliance. Know that Optiguard Shield™ 2D can be easily upgraded to 3D by ordering part number AAA24591AP404-UNITEC and adding it to your system.

The Panachrome offers a Colored LED Door Edge Solution! The Panachrome+ is the world’s most complete elevator door detection system. This premium safety edge has red and green indicators to highlight door movement and is available with 3D radar detection, extending passenger protection into the landing zone. This unique system is an effective solution for sites where passenger traffic is high or where additional safety measures are required. This product has been proven to reduce door damage and to limit passenger accident
