Elevator Door Architrave

Glossary › Elevator Door Architrave

A decorative surround frame fitted around the elevator landing door opening on the landing side, concealing the structural gap between the door frame and wall finish.

Full Definition
The door architrave (also called door surround or door reveal) is a trim profile installed around the perimeter of the landing door opening to provide a finished architectural appearance and conceal the interface between the door frame and the building's wall finish. Materials include stainless steel (brushed, mirror, or hairline), powder-coated steel, stone, or decorative laminates. The architrave is fixed to the landing door frame and must accommodate building settlement and floor-to-floor tolerance. It is not a structural or safety component but must not obstruct the door opening or interfere with door operation.
