Abstract
The method according to the invention is a method for safeguarding the car of an elevator, which is provided to form regular unlocking zones in the region around the envisaged stopping points at the stories, against unintended movement. The method monitors the speed of the car, the height position of the car in the elevator shaft and the status of the locking of the car door, and identifies possible stopping of the car, the height position of the car outside a regular unlocking zone, and a possibly unlocked state of the car door. A first sub-method of the method forms a temporary unlocking zone when the car stops outside a regular unlocking zone with the car door unlocked, and it assigns the temporary unlocking zone an upper and a lower boundary above and below the position where the car stops.
