HYGIENE BUTTONS
We can offer buttons with a special hygiene bacteria- and virus-inhibiting touch plate coating for the following models:
- MT 42
- RT 42
- VB 42 Class 3+
- B 50 Q/R
- B 45 Q/R
Proof of effectiveness against viruses and bacteria
The coating was tested by two independent laboratories. At the Institute for Hygiene and Microbiology, tests were carried out in accordance with ISO 21702:2019 (measurement of antiviral activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces). The bovine coronavirus (BCoV) (a proxy for human coronaviruses) was used for this purpose. The tests showed a reduction in BCoV titres of 98.68 %.
In the Laboratory of Microbiology Hygiene, Environment & Medicine, the effect on bacteria was investigated according to ISO 22196:2011-08 "Plastics - Measurements of antibacterial activity on plastic surfaces" and JIS Z 2801:2000 "Antimicrobial products; Test for antimicrobial activity and eefficacy". For this purpose, the bacterial growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 was tested against a control material and strong antibacterial activity was demonstrated.

SCHAEFER tactiles comply with ADA standards and feature high contrast and large identifications.

Switches and Locks
Key Switches
Our key switches are available in pushbutton styles 42 Q, R, E and Style 45 Q and R.
The key switches can be easily installed without welding studs and have the same cutout as the pushbuttons, making it easy to replace a button with a key switch.
They provide reliable performance in all types of elevator environments – from residential to commercial, in hospitals, hotels and transit stations.
The visible cover is available in black and red where red is used for all emergency applications.
A stainless steel plate marked with a laser is inserted into the covers.
Locks for Cabinets and COPs
In keeping with code requirements for passenger security and emergency first responder access, SCHAEFER Canada offers a series of compliant locks that are of the highest quality.
All our locks are quickly and easily installed with a spacer and nut (no studs required).
Toggle Switches
Ideal solution for service and FEO cabinets – many functions for elevators can be controlled by a toggle switch. The labelling is done by laser and/or engraving as per specification.
