Their quotation is higher by 2Lacs just for automatic doors..b00gieMan said:Schindler .. best option.. also if you check all new constructions today.. all of em having Schindler in them.
Myth_Pharoah said:My dad used to own the Omega Elevators franchise in Pune, so I spoke to him. He asked me to ask you, have you thought of the risks of lift failure? Automatic doors is a bad idea for homes/bungalows. What if no ones is at home and the lift fails? What about no power? Is there going to be regular good usage? Do you have servants/guards who would pay attention during power cuts, possible lift failiures? Can you imagine how claustrophobic it would be in a automatic door lift, with absolutely no light pouring in during power cuts/faiiues? Much worse for oldies as you said.
jesal said:i am constructing a building right now. have a total of 7 floors. one lift is manual and one is automatic. brand i got is EROS. OTIS is the most hopeless of the lot avoid. they invented it and not they do not know how to make basic things even. automatics cost a lot because ultimately the lifts are same but the door mechanism is installed on each floor and is imported and hence expensive. my home is going to be a duplex and for internal we were planning a lift as well. but the cost of the same is 3 and 6 laks. 3 laks for machine lift and 6 laks for non machine lift. problem is the way my house is built we dont have enough clearance for the stairs. so as of now i am NOT getting internal lift and trying for stairs. lets see. ill pm u a number of a company later on i dont have it here. have a word. dont go into brands get a custom one made. parts ultimately are given by the same company. i can tell u this cuz my uncle is one of them who makes lift parts that one else here does.
