An elevator door interlock, comprising:

• a base;
• a plurality of interlock bumpers supported on the base with a gap between the plurality of interlock bumpers, each of the interlock bumpers including a contact surface configured to contact at least one vane supported on an elevator car door;
• and
• a latch supported on the base for movement relative to the base between a door locking position and a released position, the latch including a latch bumper that is situated relative to the gap such that the at least one vane contacts the latch bumper and urges the latch into the released position when the at least one vane is at least partially in the gap, wherein the latch bumper is situated relative to the gap when the latch is in the released position so that the latch does not carry any load associated with movement of an associated hoistway door.
