There was a Minnesota mandate for elevators, as seen below. We were required to upgrade or else we would not be able to use the elevator.
“In 2020 the state of Minnesota adopted ASME A17.3-2015 – Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators. New in the 2015 version of this code is section 3.10.12; commonly referred to as “door lock monitoring.” This requirement ensures that an elevator will not operate if the hoistway door interlock or car door gate switch circuitry was either bypassed or failed in a way that renders the Door lock monitoring systems ensure that elevator doors operate safely and correctly, significantly reducing the risk of accidents caused by malfunctioning doors. This code change aligns with national safety standards.”
Multiple contractors were contacted and FELC chose TKE to do the work. Work began on January, 26th, 2026 with a plan to be done in two weeks.
