The basic cab gate is the manual

accordion-fold type, which is made

of laminate or hardwood and folds

out like an accordion. An upgrade

is available with an automatic

opening and closing device which

allows the door to close, even if

someone accidently forgets to close

it on their way out. That avoids the

elevator being stuck on another level

because the safety device will not

allow it to move without the gate

being closed.

The Vintage Scissor Gate is a metal

gate with an antique look. It allows

for a more open feel than the

accordian-style, but cannot be equipped

with an automatic opening and closing

device because of safety concerns.
