Lift modernisation and door replacement for existing buildings
Lift modernisation replaces worn or outdated parts of an existing lift so it runs safely and reliably without replacing the whole installation. Fuji International Elevator modernises lifts across the UAE, including lifts from other manufacturers: replacing manual doors with automatic doors, fitting fire-rated landing doors and renewing cabins, displays and operating panels.

What we upgrade
- Manual doors replaced with automatic doors
- Fire-rated landing doors, including stainless steel (SS 304) finishes
- Cabin interiors: walls, ceilings, flooring and handrails
- Car operating panels, landing call stations and LCD floor indicators
- Other components identified during the site survey
Signs a lift needs modernisation
- Frequent breakdowns or long waits for parts
- Manual doors that are slow or unsafe
- A dated cabin that no longer suits the building
- Parts no longer available from the original manufacturer
Frequently asked questions
Is modernisation cheaper than replacing the whole lift?
Usually, because the shaft, guide rails and much of the equipment stay in place. We survey the lift and quote only for the parts that need replacing.
Can you replace manual lift doors with automatic doors?
Yes. Replacing manual doors with automatic doors, including fire-rated stainless steel landing doors, is one of the most common upgrades we carry out on existing lifts.
Do you modernise lifts made by other companies?
Yes. We survey and modernise lifts from other manufacturers, and can then maintain them under a Fuji maintenance contract.
