Filmed with Samsung Galaxy S9 on October 16, 2019
These are the elevators at Four Seagate, an office building in downtown Toledo. These are European-spec Schindler elevators, with touch-sensitive M Series buttons, rare voice and chimes, and incredibly intelligent logic with the most accurate leveling I've ever seen. This is one of only three known remaining M Series installations in the United States, and the only one of those three outside Florida.
Despite being labeled Schindler Haughton, I doubt these have any Haughton equipment. They may very well be the oldest proper Schindlers in the US.
Schindler's controls with this system were very clever. Instead of selecting the floor like you would with a normal elevator, on these elevators, the buttons are used to enter a code. Each code activates one of the floors. I saw one building employee enter "2-4-4-5-3" to access the sixth floor, however, when I tried it, it didn't work. Floors C, B, & L are accessible without a code.
The eighth floor may be open to the public during the Social Security office's operating hours. Just my luck that they close early on Wednesdays lol.
Oh and I got kicked out at the end of the video by a security guard. I would make a bigger deal about it but the lifts themselves are too important. He essentially told me not to film and that I had to leave. Almost usual nowadays lol.
