They didn't show but you push against the other side of the rounded metal area that the key is on at 0:25, this just disengages the lock and you can now slide the door open
@1987Miketyson I can also buy B key for a fire alarm panel. But again, it is not common. If you even know they exist you are ahead of common knowledge.
Fire fighters responded to our building and used this tool to open the door for an entrapment - but they didn’t turn off the power. Then the elevator repair guy came and did the same thing.
Most likely they have put it on independent service so people cannot call the elevator from other floors. Either way they have to make sure the elevator doesn't go to the bottom floor and potentially crush/block people down there.

@@wolfsdenenterprisesllc9539 these drop keys have tags on them that state they are only to be used by trained professionals. This isn’t a tutorial the curious public should have
This should not be on TH-cam. These keys are easier to get than they should be and in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're doing are very dangerous and can get someone killed in a variety of horrible ways.
I'm a maintenance guy at a hotel, and this video saved my life when the service elevator stopped working. Turns out the tracks for the inner door were filled with dirt and needed to be cleaned for proper operation. In any case, videos like this are what helps guys like me learn something new. Instead of censoring videos like this, you should advocate for more videos on how to perform these tasks safely. Let's face it, if I didn't have this video I'd still need to get that elevator door open, and instead of being shown the proper way, I'd do something dumb and unsafe to get it open.
@@slabbulkhead6875 Did you lock out/tag out the controller to make sure the elevator couldn't move unintentionally? Did you ensure that the car and hoistway gate switches were operating properly? Doing this without understanding the elevator system gets people killed. It happens. Maintenance guys die every year trying to perform seemingly basic tasks on elevators. There is a reason we have a 4 year apprenticeship and training. I'm not trying to disrespect or discredit you, but if you open one of these doors and the car isn't there you could fall to your death, if there's an issue with gate switches (like a relation cable coming off on an old set of center opening doors that only had one gate switch) the car could run while you have the doors open and crush you between the wall and the car. This is not something to play with.
@dustin b Yes, I was very safe and respectful of the machine I was dealing with. All power, primary and auxiliary were shut off prior to me opening and working on it. Considering we had recently had the elevator serviced, I knew the extent of the work I had to do would be trivial, and the issue couldn't be anything more than dirt in the tracks. If it were any other issue, I'd call Otis and have them send a qualified technician up and I wouldn't touch it any further. While I am not a qualified technician, I was given a decent amount of training regarding very simple maintenance of the elevator systems.
@@dustinb3216totally agree with you. I'm a 65% and everything you've said is true. People please don't ever open a door or anything reckless with elevators. They can and do kill.

How’s about not showing the general public how to fall down elevator shafts. Take this video down immediately. Access to elevator shafts is for trained professionals and sharing this with the public makes you dumb

I like your voice, very calm and calming.
So amazon sent me an email suggesting I buy one of these drop keys. I'm pretty sure Amazon is trying to kill me.
@Randy Boone What grade were you in?

How'd you guys get Bruce Willis to do your VO?
So the end of the key just stops and that's it? You don't turn it?

Thanks for the help, just got my friend out of an elevator!
Landing D lock replace videos upload pls local lift ..
Elevator
So THATS what that hole was for in the elevators at my work
If you own one of these keys you are probably qualified.. just saying these keys are not in the general public. No need to remove video.
Um they actually are. You can literally buy one on Amazon

This video should be removed and fireman dont need access to a shaft that's what elevator mechanics are for.
Fire fighters rescue people from elevators when they get stuck. They can respond faster than a mechanic.

It seems he showed it the wrong way around, people only using one video to see how to open those doors won't get in. Nobody got hurt.
