Otis Hydraulic Elevator at University of Missouri-Columbia Student Center

Door close button doesn't work, or isn't even there. I don't like that! :)

do you have an accent?

[sollows1]

if you were going to build a house what elevator would you install in your house?

The door close button was relocated to the locked fire operation panel, since it doesn't work while the car is in normal operation.

@thyssenelevator95 I guess that does make some sense. If it doesn't do anything (in standard operation), why bother.

Is this the elevator with the counter waited door.

@lormarina This one probably doesn't have the counterweighted door. That only seems to appear on the new NG doors, though Otis sometimes used them back in the 1990s. I know of one Otis elevator from 1993 that uses a counterweight for the door closer.
