Was this a Dover or an actually TK because if it's a TK I'm surprised as I though interlocks were no standard on elevators. Moral of the story: never ride a TK.

this can be done with all brands of elevators Montgomery i think are more resistant to this but thyssens interlocks disengage alot sooner than most

the interlocks prevent the doors from opening when the elevator isnt there

Was the buzz really that low?

[crapper1]

@NEXPAR some elevators are like that when you pry the landing doors open even by a few millimetres. Once I did that to a 1985 Fujitec and the lift stopped halfway from its ascent from the basement floor where I was so I just let it go in case the malfunction alarm went off (very deafening for Fujitecs). Another time I did it to a 90s era Otis and instead of going up, the lift actually reversed its direction and travelled back downwards when I held the door open for quite a long time

This is 100% impossible on Otis lifts because instead of the clutch going beside the pick-up rollers, it goes between them (called the 6940 interlock set), making it impossible to do on Otis lifts. Also, it is bad to try on Schindlers as they jam EASILY.

Nope just work in maintenance. The janitor closet was next to the elevator so that is where I found it.

[NEXPAR]

Were you a janitor?

I did that as a kid back in the 1970s with several different elevators. On one I tried it and the car went up and I was then able to open the doors and see the shaft. The car would stop wherever it was when I opened the doors.

I have had that happen to a dover here. The large metal bar that you see on the right cab door has to be pressed inward to clear a part of the hall door. I thought I broke it too when it happened but used the stick of a mop to press in the part which cleared the door. Luckily the building was closed so I had time to figure it all out.
