Trapped in an Elevator!

Never seen an elevator do this before...
If you get stuck in an elevator, it is best to call for help. Trying to fix it (like I did) could be dangerous and break it further. Do as I say, not as I do, right? ;*)

Drop-Key doors have a reputation for becoming dis-attached like this (becuase of the way they are designed). A similar issue happened to me on an old Express Elevator, where one of the shaft door panel got stuck open and had dis-attached itself from the car doors. Most elevators don't have this issue anymore becuase modern elevators in most countries use the Delta-Key, or Triangle Key, which uses a different locking system, thus this shouldn't happen on those doors. Unfortunately, the US decided to make Drop-Key standard instead of Delta Key......

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Alex, can you sub to me

[@JoeyC370]

This elevator is a Schindler and actually uses U/lunar key. It's most likely just a broken clutch.

[@jonathanocto]

Well Done Schindler.

[@HaileyJohn12]

That is a bizarre malfunction. Never seen that happen in an elevator before.

[@filmer765]

Never seen this happen before. Thanks for posting.

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

william, have you got stuck in a elevator before?

[@blueauraretriever]

I've seen it happen in a youtube video of a 70s kone in europe

[@ElevatorsInternational]

I had a situation like this before. It was a Dover Impulse elevator and I got off the elevator with my Dad and my Brother when the door closed well the indoor closed but the outside didn't close. So we took the one of the other elevators down to the lobby and we told them what happened. When we came back a couple hours later, that day it was fixed and both doors closed properly.

[@PTDriver-rv2so]

I think propping the door was a good idea. Means it can easily be fixed and they don’t have to rummage around with keys to open that door.

[@georgef551]

330-YAY! There goes the reputation! (There was recently a stuck elevator video by non-enthusiasts, and it was a "330-YAY!" as well.)

[@blueauraretriever]

I have ridden a bunch of 330A's this year! None of them went below a D on the TBOY3000 GS.

[@georgef551]

Up here in the Northeast (includes the NYC area), they are not good at all. Maybe a few diamonds in the rough, but not good, especially the NYC area.

[@gliese909]

This is why newer elevators such as the Schindler 5500 use door skates that do not retract perpendicular to the door panels. This prevents the doors from sepeerating. The 330a uses a skate similar to that of GAL and MAC (Montgomery), which is prone to this.

[@elevatingCLE]

According to that information and the panel looks, it seems to be an older 330A install thats probably from the early 2000’s. I think newer HT elevators have that upgrade too.

[@Jamestube8439]

That's pretty crazy was happened! Nice video.

[@user-juoig7799]

I don't think opening the interlock is too dangerous unless the lift is between floors. Since the lift was stopped at a floor, it is pretty safe to manually open the door.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

But that may cause damage to the interlock or the door operator

The fire brigade would do the exact same thing; overriding the door's interlock with a special key.

[@FloridianElevators]

I had an issue with an Otis Lexan where I got stuck as a result of a Door Issue as well, and I had no choice but to pry the doors open and escape as the phone didn't work!!!

[@thejackdrees]

The only time I ever got stuck in an elevator was when I was nine years old. I was at a restaurant (Border Cafe) in Cambridge, MA after seeing the movie "Coraline" in the theater. For some reason I checked out the elevator. It was either that I just felt like checking it out, or I just needed to get to the restroom and the elevator was worth riding, so I get in with my father, the door closes. The elevator wouldn't even move. And much like with this Schindler, the buttons wouldn't stay lit when I press them. I was stuck for what I believe could have been around ten minutes. Thankfully, I was there with other people who were outside the elevator. I believe at one point my father took his phone and called one of those people. So I believe either my mom or my aunt, possibly alongside my younger sister, called the elevator, and the door opens. Also for the record, I don't recall the brand, but I still remember it having EPCO WN fixtures. The restaurant is good, in fact I have other locations of it closer to my house, but the elevator here was an abomination.

[@blueauraretriever]

This is insult as Schindler make good hydraulic elevators. Not even the worst ones will get below F grades on the TBOY3000-GS.

[@Bombiedude.]

I was actually hearing rumors about how schindlers elevators are really going down hill but I dont believe that I always thought they made really awsome elevators.

[@mjshelton9219]

I love your videos

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

I can't believe they only have 1 elevator for 5 floors

[@andrewsstation6436]

I’m sure they have other elevators in the building, but they are just not together in banks like many other hotels. I’ve stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and the elevators were apart from each other.

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

[@seanjuth]

It's probably due to the force of the door motor closing and opening it. it can be forceful enough to disattach the doors

[@tejaswinipathak3374]

Sometimes I think that the instead of getting out of the elevator why do people want to risk get it stuck again because of making it work properly

Wow, what's up this... How did you get out? What a weird this elevator is unlikely going be broken or neglect fixture problem, hm?!! :(

[@Mattyice-zg8om]

It was on a Schindler RT in the West Deck the 5500s are in the Orange Parking. I believe Schindler is maintaining them but I think it's more Simons fault.

you can pull the doors open and get out if you are on any floor

At least you can get out of here since the inner door was open. I hope the table is heavy enough to hold the outer door open so it will not close up. You shouldn't have kept the outer door close so no one can get in the broken elevator. You shouldn't had done that.
