Why it is improtant to know about the 3" & 5" rule for Home elevator doors. Home elevators are a bit different from commercial in that the hoistway doors do not slide together. Most Residential elevators have a swinging hoistway door installed at each landing to protect the user from any moving hazards.
The elevator cab will have either an accordian style gate or a scissors sytle gate to protect against the user being caught near the top of the door header. The 3' - 5" rule prohibits a smaller person fron getting trapped between the hoistway door and the car gate.
