A lift that stops, jerks or will not close its doors needs attention quickly. This guide explains common lift faults in Bangalore, what to do first and how to choose a lift repair and service company.
First steps when a lift fails
- Check that no one is inside. If someone is trapped, call your service provider immediately.
- Put an out-of-order notice at each landing.
- Call your lift company and note the time.
- Do not attempt to open doors or repair the lift yourself.

Choosing a repair company
| Criterion | What to look for | Questions to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Site survey | A visit with measurements before any price | Will you measure the shaft, pit and overhead yourself? |
| Written quotation | Itemised scope, specification, exclusions and payment terms | What is not included in this price? |
| Safety | Door sensors, overload protection, alarm, intercom, emergency light, rescue on power failure | Which safety features are standard? |
| Installation team | Trained technicians with supervision | Who will be on my site and who supervises? |
| Inspection support | Guidance on Karnataka inspection and licence steps | Who handles the paperwork? |
| Service and AMC | Written visit frequency, parts covered, response approach | What happens when the lift stops at night? |
| References | Completed projects like yours | Can I see or speak to similar customers? |
