Abstract

Movable vanes mounted on the exterior of an elevator car door engage rollers on the interior of the hallway door as the car door commences to open. Subsequent opening and closing movement of the car and the hallway doors occurs simultaneously and at the same speed so that there is no mismatched motion between the doors.
