Learn How It Works

Why Chain Pins Seize

Corrosion, wear, and contamination pack around pins until they won’t move.

Production stays down while crews fight pins that refuse to press out.

Torch attempts risk damage and create serious safety hazards.

Why This Happens

Corrosion and contamination build up between pin and sidebar, locking the joint. Repeated load cycling packs debris tighter, increasing friction until the pin seizes completely. Once frozen, normal pressing force fails and the elevator stays offline.
