For me, this elevator I see a perfect state. And besides, I really like this elevator as it is one of my favorite companies elevators.

I have seen a lot of dangerous elevators, but this, i think is not dangerous, or?

[fabienpitorre]

This one may be dangerous because of vandalism.

[luigigalvani1]

Why should this be dangerous?

[HardDriveGuru]

Quel âge est l'ascenseur? Était-il jamais modernisé? Désolé pour mon mauvais français, je suis encore à apprendreencore à apprendre. :)

[fabienpitorre]

Cet ascenseur date du début des années 60 et a été modernisé il y a environ 20 ans. Amicalement,

[HardDriveGuru]

@fabienpitorre D'accord. Merci beaucoup! :D

[elevatorclay]

[ptigigi22]

[fabienpitorre]

This device in unsafe because of vandalism and bad maintenance...

[weeardguy]

@fabienpitorre This is nothing compared to the elevators in one of the last high buildings here in my city: the alarm button was completely destroyed, the panel had serious marks of attempts to light it on fire, and the floor was used so long it was 'bulging' down (it was kind of 'hollow' on the inside.

The metal panels on the inside had all kinds of marks from people pissing on it, or other liquids that were spilled over. It was the first time I was scared the elevator would come to a halt...

[HungryGuyStories]

If it's dangerous, why are you riding in it?

[fabienpitorre]

Because i'm not afraid of elevators like this ;)

[fabienpitorre]

Because i'm not afraid of elevators like this ; )

[TheEcoDisc]

can you tell my one thing? why that elevator are dangerous? it have ugly innerdoors.

[fabienpitorre]

In france, elevators often meet a lot of vandalism, and this one is a good example.

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Shouldn't replace old one out made a new ones of hi-techn elevator for safety better than this. But this is quite nightmare of elevator testing problems for one slim single & one single slide doors. It was very unsafe for lift enquipment. Should replace with one freshment hi-techn elevator better than. And should be take care of health & safety by elevator.

@ANDREWWALLFORD123 :

I don't think single slide door elevator are dangerous, but this one is dangerous just because of the stupid vandalism and no repairs!

[tonylevin13]

Pourquoi "Dangerous" ? qu'as t'il de dangeux cet ascenseur ?

[fabienpitorre]

Il ne semble pas bien entretenu et les organes de sécurité (ainsi que les commandes) issus de la modernisation de l'appareil ont mal vieilli. Dans cet immeuble, les ascenseurs sont aussi parfois la proie à du vandalisme, ce qui affecte sensiblement la sécurité des usagers... Sinon, c'est un beau spécimen de la fin des années 50.

[fabienpitorre]

Hydraulic, certainly.

[djFadeOut122]

what does the sign on the door say?

[fabienpitorre]

It says only "be careful, fresh paint in the stairs"
