    4:15 - They heard Beno is coming... So they put 3 different padlocks on the motor room :D. By the way, steel is much stronger than aluminium.

    It's a pity to see one of the lifts unable to open it's doors (all of the lifts have sadly being replaced)

    In France, we use U keys on old some Otis Prelexan landing doors, we call them "clé demi-lune" (Half moon key)

      Et les portes sont dites Orly d'après les techniciens eux-mêmes.
      Bizarre comme nom et pourtant...
      Oui c'est une clé demi-lune sinon et j'ai réussi à fabriquer la mienne avec un tube en acier acheté chez Brico truc truc , une scie à métaux et un marteau.

      Exactement, c'est la célèbre porte Orly qui était installée sur les ascenseurs Otis Prelexan, mais il s'agit seulement des portes à deux vantaux et à ouverture centrale

    They did this as i fell into the lift a few years ago and damaged my back, the lifts where a ft lower than they should have been. They got condemned and remained locked due to lack of funding to buy new ones. They have since been replaced.

    I did actually manage to make a U key from a steel tube that I bought at a hardware store. It took quite a bit of adjustment to get it to fit through the U shaped hole of the lift but it finally works.
    BTW "french" U keys are different than UK U keys.
    The fun thing is that in France, only some Otis doors have U keys. (They're literally called "Orly doors" by the way).

    One of my local lifts uses a U key although the hole the key goes in had been smashed up so I was able to stick a literal stick in the hole and open the doors

    @Mattyeah101 9 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Mild steel would have probably been a better choice for the tube you made the key out of - aluminum is too soft and liable to break. Seeing as you don't have access to a vice, you would probably have a job cutting it though.

    These elevators look like they are vintage, notice how there is only 1 call button on each floor. This means that the controller is probably original.
