    Abstract: A locking system for an elevator car includes a moveable panel of the elevator car moveable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the open position provides access to a region external to the elevator car. Also included is a plate operatively coupled to an exterior surface of the moveable panel. Further included is a magnetic locking member operatively coupled to an exterior surface of a fixed panel of the elevator car in communication with an electrical member, wherein the plate exerts magnetic forces with the magnetic locking member, the magnetic locking member magnetically coupled to the plate in a first electrical condition of the electrical member to maintain the moveable panel in the closed position and decoupled from the plate in a second electrical condition of the electrical member to allow the moveable panel to be moved to the open position.

    Abstract: An elevator system is provided including a hoistway having a plurality of landings including a top landing and a bottom landing. An elevator car including a car floor and a car roof is configured to move within the hoistway between the plurality of landings. A counterweight is configured to move within the hoistway. At least one tension member couples the elevator car and the counterweight. A support member is mounted within the hoistway. The support member includes a deflector sheave configured to receive the at least one tension member and prevent direct contact between the tension member and the support member. A machine assembly is mounted to the support member. When the elevator car is parked at a desired landing, the machine assembly is accessible from an interior of the elevator car.
