Incase ARD is not available Push the “Door Open” Button If you are near the landing the door will open. You can slowly and carefully step out of the Lift. Be sure to watch your step as the Lift’s floor may, or may not, be level with the landing. 2. Remain Calm If the door does not open, you are still safe. Do not try to exit the Lift.
