Old Schindler lift ...and I've been GIVEN the motor room key!

Did I turn the key around - YES, Did I jiggle it around - YES, Did I try the door handle - YES, Did I try different keys - YES... I spent over 30 minutes trying to get in with every key that I could find, and for the sake of an unnamed person (name with wolf in it) the BUILDING OWNER has the lift motor room keys as he owns the property not the lift company, so YES YES YES, I did everything I could to get in BELIEVE ME. I'm sure you really don't want to watch 30 minutes of me trying keys, hence I've EDITED OUT the key trying attempts AND my 3 visits going up and down trying different keys.
No further description necessary as I tell you everything with the voice-over in the movie.
(I have another Old Schindler lift movie coming soon with motor room - I promise lol)

[@shadowguidr7042]

Never turn the key around when trying to insert it since it can damage the tip of the key. Also, just a tip: if a lock is awkwardly placed, it's probably the one that works.

[@TamasH87]

The main purpose of the floor switch is to let the controller "know" that there is somebody inside, so the lift wont't respond to calls from the outside while you are inside. They had no memory function back then so they'd just ignore calls while somebody was riding. Some had a timer though, so if you hung around in the lift too long, after say...3 minutes it would start reaponding to calls. The light switch feature is just a bonus.

[@krashd]

I'll have to watch Schindler's Lift now, I always thought it was some WW2 thing.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

yeah I know!! :( :( SOOO close, but I tried everything. I wonder if the engineers force the door open - according to the customer it's services twice a year. If I get to go back I will of course ask and try again, the lock might be fixed by then

[@MrWolfSnack]

The lock is not broken. The elevator service company will have the keys. Contact them. Are you really that stupid? Common sense. You think you can just get keys to everything?

[@alloria]

Looks like a really awesome lift. I really like the round windows, gives it a bit of a retro charm. Tell me something, have you ever been in a lift that does not have internal doors?

[@iliasasdf]

Do all german elevators have an SS button? Lol.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

hmmmm ;)

[@keith800]

I wonder about the floor, as lifts have a timer to turn off the lights when lift isn't being used makes me wonder how old the lift really is as some old lifts once had a switch under the floor so car can be called if the internal gate had been left open. and also why is the stop button still connected despite internal doors now fitted

[@Bombiedude.]

I actually found a video where someone actually has a similar call button as this and he actually took it apart and showed the guts of how these old schindler buttons work but ofcourse for privacy Im not gonna give his channel name

[@itz_maya1223]

Are u interested in a 1972 Dover Turnbull Elevator.... its uhhhhhhhh not a great one haha 😅

[@mumdobhut]

do you know the call button says lift was built in 1874

[@mrmattandmrchay]

yes I do, I think it was when Schindler first started as a company (a guess)

[@marklatimer7333]

As a civilisation have humans got dumber over the last 50 years? - How did we cope with lifts with no inner door - a cynic might say it's not safety that's the issue, it's the laws surrounding litigation that have changed.

[@marklatimer7333]

Nice shoes - haven't seen a pair like that since 1978 in 'The Sweeney'. Are you Dennis Waterman?

[@jsl151850b]

The description was truncated on my display. I thought someone gave you the entire motor room! Not sure what you'd do with one.

[@Bombiedude.]

Ive actually heard on these swing door elevators/lifts many people dont like the innerdoors because they dont have windows I personally found it very unusual and interesting because its not something you would see often

[@Sebastian-cu2zq]

old lift, by myself, alone ? nah iam good watching youtube video

[@twizz420]

That was definitely not the right key for the lock. I can tell just from looking at it that it's not the right shape. It might be ROUGHLY the same shape, but if it didn't fit then it's obviously not the right shape.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Only trying all keys that I was given - none fitted.

Nice, I wish though that your intro still had the "Ding-Dong" at the end of it.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

yeah I do see what you mean, but I'm going to alternate them from version 2 and version 3. You'd not believe the amount of time I've spent "tweaking" these intros! I liked the "echoy sireny noise" in the background on this intro which starts at 0:04. But I suppose I could put back the chimes, but that's easier said than done coz then I'd have to adjust the positioning of the piano bit at the end.

[@striatogatto]

nteresting! Except that the colleagues in this case with the addition of the automatic internal door have forgotten about an important thing which is also provided for by law! In the event that the lift stops between 2 floors, the internal door cannot be opened electrically as in this case by pressing the STOP button! To avoid accidents the door should only open in the door area! Door zone means (+ - 15 cm) from the exact level. To do this, all you need to do is install a 1 permanent magnet sensor or a reed sensor on the roof of the cabin and place the magnets or shielding plate on each floor so as to make the cabin door open only when the lift is in the door zone. Not to mention that they kept the movable floor, which in this case with the automatic internal door does not make sense. Hydraulic lifts are used for re-leveling with open doors under similar conditions, with the difference of installing 2 permanent magnet sensor or a reed sensor + (Safety relays or contactor) Featured in a video you made titled: 9 MINUTES OF HYDRAULIC LIFT MOTOR ROOM a hydraulic OTIS LV1-LV2-LVC relays. LVI-LV2-LVC in the event that the hidraulic lift re-level, and for whatever reason the lift kept going up with the doors open, as soon as the cabin leaves the door zone (+ - 15 cm) LV1-LV2-LVC relay they de-energize thus stopping the moving cabin. (In hydraulic OTIS controllers, You always hear LV1-LV2 relays that clack clack l, ascending each floor. The STOP button in the cabin has been prohibited since 2002 with the entry into force of the EN-81-1 law.

[@HeritageElevators]

Nice documentation anyway. Is this in Genève?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

yes, how did you guess? :) By the way, I'm going to hide your comment in a while as I don't really want the location to be identified as this is a customer site, even though I did obtain permission - best to be safe than sorry!

[@HeritageElevators]

mrmattandmrchay The elevator looks very Swiss and it has the three Swiss languages written on the callfixture. The Italian led me south and the French led to west - to Genève. Also because that city is the easiest to reach internationally. In Zürich they mostly write in German only on the elevators :)

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Heritage Elevators That just happens to be where I am right now!! In Zurich! Going home tomorrow though.

[@HeritageElevators]

mrmattandmrchay Great! Did you get inspired by my videos to go there? :P Did you find any elevators without innerdoors in Genève? I'm very interested in knowing that because i might go there soon :)

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Heritage Elevators I was working in both Geneva and Zurich - a customer. This is great as I get to travel to all types of places (including those Old Schindler lifts in Saudi - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKakk2WoidJ9pac Didn't see anything else worth filming, but I didn't go out exploring through lack of time and seeing somewhere to visit.

[@markhodgson2348]

Haha and that's why you were given a key did you really think some body would let you into a active switch room

[@Bombiedude.]

Well the positive side is that it wouldve delayed modernisations so people would have a chance before the engineers unjam the lock

Gotta love it when the key don’t go in the hole!

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Looks like the lift is in great condition! Lets hope it doesn't break down soon or the engineer will be stuck.

[@watchmakerful]

Why does it open the doors everywhere upon pressing STOP? Soviet lifts open them ONLY when the car is EXACTLY at a floor +/- 5..10 cm, otherwise it simply stops and remains closed.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Алексей Рукин I was surprised the inside doors open, but I know why - The interior door was an add-on. With the relay logic, it's all they could come up with without modifying the existing relay wiring. Perhaps if the engineers who added the internal doors had a little more time or knowledge, or some extra relays then they would have prevented the internal doors from opening. Or perhaps it's designed to do this.

[@commacommacomm]

*Well, everyone’s different.*

[@skywolfx76]

The internal shutters makes it look more new

[@凡人-n6s]

いや、怖すぎる、、 So scared...

[@dykodesigns]

Nice lift! To bad that the key's didn't fit. The top key hole look like a cylinder for a very advanced type of key. I saw that the key has pits in it instead of insciscions, this makes the lock very hard to pick. What I find special but also a bit annoying about swiss lifts, is that the light goes out when it is not in use. In some countries (the netherlands) that is not allowed by the elevator regulations. The three languages on the fixtures where of course a dead give away that this lift is in Switzerland. I've been in Switzeland a few times on summer holidays in the past, I've seen several different parts of the country. The multilingual aspect makes it special.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

The key at the bottom I think is the locked one. There was only one key that fitted the top hole, but didn't turn. I haven't had much luck on this visit, but I did get a hydraulic lift motor room - yeah I know it's just a controller with a tank of oil and a pump - not much to look at, but the controller was all relays - coming soon!

[@ELPaso1990TX]

Are most lift motors generally 3 phase? And if so do they have a phase converter if 3 phase isn't available in the building?

[@Ragnar8504]

+ELPaso1990TX I'd say you can reasonably expect 3-phase to be available almost anywhere in Europe except in some remote rural places (mainly in the UK and Ireland I think). No idea about American lifts though, considering 3-phase is a lot less common over there.
