Do it your self Dumbwaiter may be cheap, but at what cost?
CAUTION Consumers...Protection of Dumbwaiter doors can not be done with magnets and cabinet latches.
While Consumer Product Safety Commission is investigating Residential elevators installed under the current 5.3 ASME Code, They are missing far greater Dangers in DIY lifting products like Dumbwaiters & Stair Lifts.
While there have been cases of Child entrapment in residential elevators it is my opinion, based on industry facts, that the Much larger danger to the public is Do It Yourself - DIY Dumbwaiters & Stair Lifts and Soon to be DIY Home Elevators.
The case listed above identify what has been happening in greater frequency with Dumbwaiters,Stair Lifts and Wheelchair Lifts being sold online via the LOW Cost Online Marketers. A simple Goolge search will identify what looks to be the only way to buy a Lift of Elevator....DIY.
There are 10 - 20 websites that appear to be real elevator companies with real experts who say the Sell Nationwide or Factory Direct to Home owners and builders.
Many of them have no Installers and are not insured to install elevators and have no Completed Operations Insurance to cover defective claims on installed equipment.
Please take caution when dealing with any ONLINE company that you can not actually go to their showroom and test ride their equipment or one of their customers installations in you area.
Try Before you buy! Verify Actual installations. Anyone can create their own customer references that make them sound legit.
Let the buyer be aware!

If you have never installed one of these before you can't know the dangers of an improper installation. And the guy selling them to you on the phone in his living room in his underwear does not care if you are competent to install it. He is just selling it and taking your money with NO recourse.
