Florida Elevator Code Deadlines and Compliance Update
Florida has adopted ASME A17.1-2019 (for new and modernized elevators) and ASME A17.3-2020 (for existing elevators), establishing important safety requirements for elevator owners throughout the state.:
Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) – Deadline Extended
Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) systems help prevent elevator operation unless all hoistway doors are properly closed and locked.
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has extended enforcement of the DLM requirement (Section 3.10.12) until August 1, 2029.
What This Means for Building Owners:
- Owners with an existing DLM violation are not currently subject to fines or shutdowns related to the absence of a DLM system.
- A callback inspection may still be required to verify the state’s updated enforcement timeline and close out any other violations that may have appeared on the same inspection report.
- The DLM upgrade requirement has not been eliminated—compliance will still be mandatory by August 1, 2029.
Emergency Brakes / Unintended Car Movement (UCM) Protection
All traction elevators must be equipped with approved protection against unintended car movement, such as dual-plunger brakes or rope grippers.
Compliance Deadline: August 1, 2028
Don’t Wait Until the Deadline
While the DLM enforcement date has been extended, building owners should take advantage of the additional time to plan and complete these upgrades strategically. As the deadlines approach, demand for labor, equipment, and replacement parts is expected to increase, potentially resulting in longer lead times and higher project costs.
By evaluating your equipment and scheduling work now, you can avoid the last-minute rush, better manage your budget, and ensure your elevators remain safe and compliant.
Delaware Elevator Florida specializes in compliance evaluations, modernization planning, and turnkey installation services to help building owners navigate these code requirements with confidence.
