1. An elevator door subsystem comprising:
a hanger mount having a first side, a second side, and an opening between the first side and second side, the first side having at least a portion configured for arrangement in an opening of an elevator door hanger, and the second side having at least a bearing surface;
a leveling cam configured for sliding contact with the bearing surface and having a first surface, a second surface, an opening between the first surface and the second surface, and a third surface for contacting the bearing surface;
an engaging member configured for placement in the opening of the hanger mount and the opening of the leveling cam; and
a roller assembly for receiving the engaging member, such that when the roller assembly is positioned on one side of the elevator door hanger, the hanger mount is positioned within the opening of the elevator door hanger, and the leveling cam is positioned on another side of the elevator door hanger, the engaging member is receivable by the roller assembly after the engaging member is passed through the opening in the leveling cam, the opening in the hanger mount, and the opening in the door hanger.
2. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable such that when the roller assembly is positioned on one side of the elevator door hanger, the hanger mount is positioned within the opening of the elevator door hanger, the leveling cam is positioned on another side of the elevator door hanger, and the engaging member is received by the roller assembly after the engaging member is passed through the opening in the leveling cam, the opening in the hanger mount, and the opening in the door hanger, the position of the roller assembly is adjustable by rotating the leveling cam about the engaging member.
3. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , further comprising a track configured to receive a roller of the roller assembly so that the roller is operable to roll along the track.
4. The elevator door subsystem of claim 3 , wherein the track comprises steel.
5. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , wherein the roller assembly comprises a nylon roller.
6. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , further comprising a second hanger mount, a second leveling cam, a second engaging member and a second roller assembly.
7. The elevator door subsystem of claim 6 , further comprising a track configured to receive a roller of the roller assembly and a second roller of the second roller assembly so that the roller and the second roller are operable to roll along the track at the same time.
8. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , wherein the engaging member comprises a bolt having a threaded portion and a flange, the threaded portion configured to be received by a corresponding threaded portion of the roller assembly, and the flange configured for urging the leveling cam against the hanger mount when the threaded portion of the bolt is engaged with the corresponding threaded portion of the roller assembly.
9. The elevator door subsystem of claim 8 , wherein the threaded portion of the roller assembly is included in a shaft of the roller assembly.
10. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , wherein the leveling cam comprises a catch usable for rotating the leveling cam when the engaging member is positioned in the opening in the leveling cam.
11. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , further comprising a cleaner-bracket assembly configured for mounting on the elevator door hanger and cleaning a roller of the roller assembly.
12. The elevator door subsystem of claim 1 , further comprising a support roller configured for mounting on the elevator door hanger and maintaining a position of the elevator door hanger relative to a track that receives a roller of the roller assembly.
13. A kit for replacing parts of an elevator door assembly comprising:
a hanger mount having a first side, a second side, and an opening between the first side and second side, the first side having at least a portion configured for arrangement in an opening of an elevator door hanger, and the second side having at least a bearing surface;
a leveling cam configured for sliding contact with the bearing surface and having a first surface, a second surface, an opening between the first surface and the second surface, and a third surface for contacting the bearing surface;
an engaging member configured for placement in the opening of the hanger mount and the opening of the leveling cam; and
a roller assembly for receiving the engaging member, such that when the roller assembly is positioned on one side of the elevator door hanger, the hanger mount is positioned within the opening of the elevator door hanger, and the leveling cam is positioned on another side of the elevator door hanger, the engaging member is receivable by the roller assembly after the engaging member is passed through the opening in the leveling cam, the opening in the hanger mount, and the opening in the door hanger.
