The product, in the report: Porta Inc elevator electro mechanical door lock
A recently modified installation of the recalled EMDL with the replacement of the plastic lock with the metal lock has resulted in broken Beryllium Copper spring contacts. The problem is that the technician never removed the plastic cover of the EMDL to visually verify the engagement distance of the new metal lock into the EMDL. As a result of incorrect/unadjusted mounting of the EMDL, the spring contacts were pushed way beyond the metal contact plate and actually contacted the underside of the metal lock. The circuit was closed by the spring contacts touching the metal of the lock rather than the metal contact plate surface at the end of the new metal lock. Upon opening the door, the metal lock grabbed and distorted the spring contacts to the point where they were dragged back over the end of the metal lock and snapped away from the metal lock when they had clearance to do so. As a result of repeated cycling in this manner, the contacts broke and fell off, rendering the solenoid circuit inoperable.
