Will a king bed frame (80"×85"×14") (203x191x36 cm) fit in an elevator?
Expert analysis
Your king bed frame (80"×85"×14") will not fit through the elevator opening — and it is clearly over the limit at the tightest point.
The elevator is the bottleneck. You could rotate it, disassemble it, or check whether your building has a freight elevator with a larger opening.
These are based on typical dimensions, so measure your specific item and space to confirm.
It exceeds the opening at the tightest point.

How the elevator-cab check works
An elevator gate is a 2D opening (cab door) followed by a 3D box (cab interior); items must enter the door AND fit inside the cab.
- Generate the 6 item permutations and test each against the elevator door opening (width × height).
- For permutations that enter, test against the cab footprint (depth × width) once inside.
- If the item is longer than the cab depth, check whether it fits rotated diagonally across the cab.
- Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance on each axis for movers loading and pivoting the item.
- Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js, shared with door): FITS ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.
Cab dimensions come from the building’s posted load plate; rotation diagonally fits longer items than the cab depth alone.

Space geometry
- Door opens fully to the cab interior width
- No protruding handrails or guards inside the cab
Handling
- ±¼ in tape-measure tolerance applied
- 1.5 in handling clearance subtracted from raw margins before the verdict
- Item treated as rigid — cannot compress, bend, or disassemble.
