Amberly Village elevator hall station before modernization Amberly Village elevator hall station after modernization BEFOREAFTER DRAG TO COMPARE

The call station and fire service signage residents touch every day. New stainless fixture with a digital position indicator replacing a worn two-button plate.

Car operating panel rebuilt — new buttons, indicator and firefighter service, with the cab returns kept and cleaned rather than needlessly replaced.

The heart of the job. A 1980s relay controller with hand-lettered wiring gives way to a modern non-proprietary controller you are not locked into.

Overhead view of the power unit. New valve, new wiring, new guarding, and a layout a technician can actually work in.

Drive assembly and governor replaced, with new sheaves and correct alignment — where ride quality is won or lost.

Hoistway door equipment and locks renewed. Door trouble is the single most common cause of entrapment callbacks.

Ageing blue cabinetry and a stained floor replaced with a clean, sealed room and a new power unit. Condition here predicts equipment life.

Pit cleaned, sealed and fitted with new buffers and jack work. The part of the job nobody sees and every inspector checks.
