Whoa! 71 years old elevator maintained in that good condition? That is something phenomenal.

@ElevationLowJJ It is common in Denmark. We take good care of our elevator and a proud of the old elevators

The door at the ground floor remembers to my kitchen door. Awesome!

[ATITANIC1992]

@PostTower Yes it is a very weird door for an elevator lol. It looks like a normal door

Weird but in a good way. It must be the way the stairs are built that makes it necessary to have the openings at a 90 degree angle. I wonder if the elevator was put in at a later time after the building was completed. Still those elevators are nice. Disneyland in California has a French elevator that is tiny and where the cables go through a hole in the ceiling above the shaft. Will try to find it and give you the link.

@NEXPAR Do you have any elevators with doors at 90 degrees?

[EMMAWONDERLAND1]

No view the door! Is too much too startled the people get scary to open the door. Unknown that elevator like a bit scrapping door. Should be replacing that elevator with new ones to look the view & indicator floor better could be safe than this. These are like a bit idiot door to make this!

@ATITANIC1992 I don't have any elevators with 90 degree doors that I have filmed but I did see one here in Denver but the building it was in has been renovated and I cannot access it anymore.
