Old Schindler lift ...and I've been GIVEN the motor room key!

- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Did I turn the key around - YES, Did I jiggle it around - YES, Did I try the door handle - YES, Did I try different keys - YES... I spent over 30 minutes trying to get in with every key that I could find, and for the sake of an unnamed person (name with wolf in it) the BUILDING OWNER has the lift motor room keys as he owns the property not the lift company, so YES YES YES, I did everything I could to get in BELIEVE ME. I'm sure you really don't want to watch 30 minutes of me trying keys, hence I've EDITED OUT the key trying attempts AND my 3 visits going up and down trying different keys.
No further description necessary as I tell you everything with the voice-over in the movie.
(I have another Old Schindler lift movie coming soon with motor room - I promise lol)
...this is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and today we will be looking at an old motor room lock
😂😂 Matt should just bring this guy next time
lol
The main purpose of the floor switch is to let the controller "know" that there is somebody inside, so the lift wont't respond to calls from the outside while you are inside. They had no memory function back then so they'd just ignore calls while somebody was riding. Some had a timer though, so if you hung around in the lift too long, after say...3 minutes it would start reaponding to calls. The light switch feature is just a bonus.
Never turn the key around when trying to insert it since it can damage the tip of the key.
Also, just a tip: if a lock is awkwardly placed, it's probably the one that works.
Every elevator you step in is nightmare fuel for me, but very interesting
I love elevators but only old ones! Glad it's interesting for you and thanks :)
Hi mister j
@@mrmattandmrchay defiantly no cough cough generic lifts cough cough
I'll have to watch Schindler's Lift now, I always thought it was some WW2 thing.
Rob Fraser LOL, here you go then... ua-cam.com/video/mccKin-J9iY/v-deo.html :)
+Rob Fraser I was going to say the same thing. ;)
+mrmattandmrchay There's a movie called 'Schindler's List' based on WW2.
NO! That was such a rare opportunity! Would have been great to have looked in there :(
yeah I know!! :( :( SOOO close, but I tried everything. I wonder if the engineers force the door open - according to the customer it's services twice a year. If I get to go back I will of course ask and try again, the lock might be fixed by then
The lock is not broken. The elevator service company will have the keys. Contact them. Are you really that stupid? Common sense. You think you can just get keys to everything?
mrmattandmrchay is
For the bottom lock the key was UPSIDE DOWN!!!
+davewebb413 Please see description thanks
No it wasn’t
The Schindler Logo looks like a pac-man flipped upside down
an upside down pacman is the same thing as a regular pacman... he's symmetrical
I am more of a siren dude, but this is very cool.
Saaame! I like sirens too!
I like sirens too, wow!
QUESTION minecrafter hey, check out my vid that is going to come out in about a week and a half. It is about the sirens here, in Slovenia.
John Craddock hey, check out my vid that is going to come out in about a week and a half. It is about the sirens here, in Slovenia.
*_when you lose their keys_*
The inner doors look like they have been taken from a powerdisc!!!
Ive actually heard on these swing door elevators/lifts many people dont like the innerdoors because they dont have windows I personally found it very unusual and interesting because its not something you would see often
I actually found a video where someone actually has a similar call button as this and he actually took it apart and showed the guts of how these old schindler buttons work but ofcourse for privacy Im not gonna give his channel name
For some reason I read the title as "Schindlers list"
looks like the painter could have done a better job if he knew your door open between floors trick. thanks for posting
Gotta love it when the key don’t go in the hole!
Schindler's Lift.
I actually have a video called that lol
@mrmattandmrchay
I never get to have the creative comment. I stand by my punchline.
This was the first video I (remember) watched from you. That brings back memories ....
Protip: The key to the lock will have the same logo on it as the lock.
Looks like a really awesome lift. I really like the round windows, gives it a bit of a retro charm. Tell me something, have you ever been in a lift that does not have internal doors?
nteresting!
Except that the colleagues in this case with the addition of the automatic internal door have forgotten about an important thing which is also provided for by law!
In the event that the lift stops between 2 floors, the internal door cannot be opened electrically as in this case by pressing the STOP button! To avoid accidents the door should only open in the door area! Door zone means (+ - 15 cm) from the exact level.
To do this, all you need to do is install a 1 permanent magnet sensor or a reed sensor on the roof of the cabin and place the magnets or shielding plate on each floor so as to make the cabin door open only when the lift is in the door zone. Not to mention that they kept the movable floor, which in this case with the automatic internal door does not make sense.
Hydraulic lifts are used for re-leveling with open doors under similar conditions,
with the difference of installing 2 permanent magnet sensor or a reed sensor + (Safety relays or contactor) Featured in a video you made titled: 9 MINUTES OF HYDRAULIC LIFT MOTOR ROOM a hydraulic OTIS LV1-LV2-LVC relays.
LVI-LV2-LVC in the event that the hidraulic lift re-level, and for whatever reason the lift kept going up with the doors open, as soon as the cabin leaves the door zone (+ - 15 cm)
LV1-LV2-LVC relay they de-energize
thus stopping the moving cabin.
(In hydraulic OTIS controllers, You always hear LV1-LV2 relays that clack clack l, ascending each floor. The STOP button in the cabin has been prohibited since 2002 with the entry into force of the EN-81-1 law.
I wonder about the floor, as lifts have a timer to turn off the lights when lift isn't being used makes me wonder how old the lift really is as some old lifts once had a switch under the floor so car can be called if the internal gate had been left open. and also why is the stop button still connected despite internal doors now fitted
TL;DW He didn't get in -- They changed the locks.
1:41 looks like asbestos in the ceiling
oh so cool this Elevator is nice
+Tanja S. Its cool would have preferred to get into motor room though :/
@@mrmattandmrchay Agreed
Nice lift! To bad that the key's didn't fit. The top key hole look like a cylinder for a very advanced type of key. I saw that the key has pits in it instead of insciscions, this makes the lock very hard to pick. What I find special but also a bit annoying about swiss lifts, is that the light goes out when it is not in use. In some countries (the netherlands) that is not allowed by the elevator regulations.
The three languages on the fixtures where of course a dead give away that this lift is in Switzerland. I've been in Switzeland a few times on summer holidays in the past, I've seen several different parts of the country. The multilingual aspect makes it special.
The key at the bottom I think is the locked one. There was only one key that fitted the top hole, but didn't turn. I haven't had much luck on this visit, but I did get a hydraulic lift motor room - yeah I know it's just a controller with a tank of oil and a pump - not much to look at, but the controller was all relays - coming soon!
Well the positive side is that it wouldve delayed modernisations so people would have a chance before the engineers unjam the lock
Looks like the lift is in great condition! Lets hope it doesn't break down soon or the engineer will be stuck.
You forgot to TRY THE DOOR HANDLE! (You only tried to insert the keys)! I have ridden a lift that has that treadle feature as to activate the light. It is at a building in my birthplace, Bern, in Switzerland, at the a Bern hostel.. It is a small lift with window in doors and no interior door but flush shaft. Did not see motor room.
Check the new video description ;)
I WAS BORN IN SWITZERLAND😂❤️
Welcome in Switzerland!
WOW, R-series elevator with circular shaped window!
Nice video
I live in Switzerland and in my House is the Same Elevator
cornel70 : Has your lift innerdoors or innerdoorless?
Where is the lift you speak?
I would like film this one.
In Bulgaria, some of the old lifts only have outer doors and they are the swingy outy type
That would of been amazing if you did get in the mtoor room it sad how you did not but never or less great to see a original Schindler
The internal shutters makes it look more new
do you know that Schindler is a kind of a movie.
Nice, I wish though that your intro still had the "Ding-Dong" at the end of it.
yeah I do see what you mean, but I'm going to alternate them from version 2 and version 3. You'd not believe the amount of time I've spent "tweaking" these intros! I liked the "echoy sireny noise" in the background on this intro which starts at 0:04. But I suppose I could put back the chimes, but that's easier said than done coz then I'd have to adjust the positioning of the piano bit at the end.
Yea we can have an arrived siund
Different than a lot of elevators I work on in the states. Very interesting
do you know the call button says lift was built in 1874
yes I do, I think it was when Schindler first started as a company (a guess)
The description was truncated on my display.
I thought someone gave you the entire motor room!
Not sure what you'd do with one.
Matt Ill explain this lock to you
the top one is a high security "dimple style" lock and takes a dimple key
the bottom cylinder is a standard cylinder that takes a normal style key
that lock couldn't have been broken otherwise it would have failed inspection
+sean juth Thanks. I must have had the wrong key then but there was a specific key marked "elevator room on the roof" (it was in dutch and had to translate it). It remains a mystery! !!
Nice shoes - haven't seen a pair like that since 1978 in 'The Sweeney'.
Are you Dennis Waterman?
I Don't Ride Any Lifts.
You are so lucky that you find old elevarors.😑 I only find like Dover impulse.
What a shame it was busted. Hopefully someone will be able to get in if something breaks!
You should come and look at the ancient ones in Bolsover!
would love to, except I don't want to pay for a ticket lol. Sometimes it's fun arriving somewhere HOPING to find something to film - some you win, some you lose!
Do all german elevators have an SS button? Lol.
hmmmm ;)
I forgot to say, the lift has a very nice sounding motor
Annie Mooney If I ever go back there then I hope the lock has been fixed, then hopefully you can see the motor :)
What the hell are these lift experts?
Ikr they love fucking nightmare elevators
Great find , I like the C/W idea ,are they really rods or wire rope stretched taught ? ,ideal for low rise lifts as not a lot of twisting moments in the c/w. .
Keith Huddy I may have a few more photos of that CW !!! I'll upload to my flickr account, if I can find the password
Those lifts innerdoprs aren't that bad, they didn't add stupid folding doors
We have this same elevator, but the keys are a bit more modern
Nice!
Watching parkour videos was wondering why something like that is roof and found out it's lift motor room in this video.
Why does it open the doors everywhere upon pressing STOP? Soviet lifts open them ONLY when the car is EXACTLY at a floor +/- 5..10 cm, otherwise it simply stops and remains closed.
Алексей Рукин I was surprised the inside doors open, but I know why - The interior door was an add-on. With the relay logic, it's all they could come up with without modifying the existing relay wiring. Perhaps if the engineers who added the internal doors had a little more time or knowledge, or some extra relays then they would have prevented the internal doors from opening. Or perhaps it's designed to do this.
Hope you reported the faulty/ wrong key(s) .in case of a trapin!
That was definitely not the right key for the lock. I can tell just from looking at it that it's not the right shape. It might be ROUGHLY the same shape, but if it didn't fit then it's obviously not the right shape.
Only trying all keys that I was given - none fitted.
I like the theme song
Schindler‘s lift
flip the KEY
Nice documentation anyway. Is this in Genève?
yes, how did you guess? :) By the way, I'm going to hide your comment in a while as I don't really want the location to be identified as this is a customer site, even though I did obtain permission - best to be safe than sorry!
mrmattandmrchay The elevator looks very Swiss and it has the three Swiss languages written on the callfixture. The Italian led me south and the French led to west - to Genève. Also because that city is the easiest to reach internationally. In Zürich they mostly write in German only on the elevators :)
Heritage Elevators That just happens to be where I am right now!! In Zurich! Going home tomorrow though.
mrmattandmrchay Great! Did you get inspired by my videos to go there? :P
Did you find any elevators without innerdoors in Genève? I'm very interested in knowing that because i might go there soon :)
Heritage Elevators I was working in both Geneva and Zurich - a customer. This is great as I get to travel to all types of places (including those Old Schindler lifts in Saudi - ua-cam.com/video/nuAb2rTmJoE/v-deo.html
Didn't see anything else worth filming, but I didn't go out exploring through lack of time and seeing somewhere to visit.
old lift, by myself, alone ? nah iam good watching youtube video
floor contact to know the electrical of elevator that its a person inside the cabin !
If it was in germany, you have to. Put the key upside down sometimes
if you couldnt get into the motor room then how can engineers get in if the doors gamed locked
I didn’t see you try the handle maybe that door was already unlocked ????
Pls see description thanks:)
Very nice lift!
You live in Switzerland, or you came to film lifts?
ASS22 Hiya, we have a customer in Switzerland, so it's just a visit :) I was working at the time.
I think the company has the other key, two keys needed to get in?
What kind of elevator is breaking every side is wow
Are u interested in a 1972 Dover Turnbull Elevator.... its uhhhhhhhh not a great one haha 😅
Cool
Great intro
Are most lift motors generally 3 phase? And if so do they have a phase converter if 3 phase isn't available in the building?
+ELPaso1990TX I'd say you can reasonably expect 3-phase to be available almost anywhere in Europe except in some remote rural places (mainly in the UK and Ireland I think).
No idea about American lifts though, considering 3-phase is a lot less common over there.
Nice intro
Thanks :)
mrmattandmrchay
Get yourself a key extractor from a lock pick kit (and the rest of the kit fi you desire). But do keep lock picking legal!
if only!! We've lost the contract from this customer, so no chance of me going back to re-film this now :( :( :(
Why did you show the keys bidding
I know what the motor of that lift looks like.
Nice shoes, Matt!
You should have tryed to turn the key up side down
Please see the video description, thanks.
4:10 please let the lift go
Just looks like the elevator in our townhall (in Germany)
*Well, everyone’s different.*
Is that really a elevator/lift?
Why would you say that you had the key if it didn’t work...
+Bailey Driver I 'did' have the key, but it didn't work :)
Haha and that's why you were given a key did you really think some body would let you into a active switch room
I think they might have given you a fake key
I love those spooky elevators & machine rooms! They're so interesting!
Was it in Germany?
Trizocbs This was in Geneva.
Cool and nice yiu intro so nice
Nice!!!!
you put the key upside down
+WGBH please see video description thanks
is the motor 480 or 208
KEENAN
What's the name of the song at the intro?
Schindlers list
Put key upside down to the keyslot!
please check the description :)
Wer bitte ist so geil auf Lifte?? Und warum kuck ich mir das an???
Schindler 1984
As a civilisation have humans got dumber over the last 50 years? - How did we cope with lifts with no inner door - a cynic might say it's not safety that's the issue, it's the laws surrounding litigation that have changed.
which model schindler is this?
Annie Mooney Sorry, I'm not sure what model it is, all I know is that it's from the 1960's or 1970's and it's old! :)
I love ur vids :)
Thanks! BTW, why are you called The Seagull? :)
@@mrmattandmrchay let me tell you the story:
So one day I was out on the beach and I saw a seagull. Then that was when I decided to make a UA-cam channel called the seagull. And look how far I've come :)
Oh hi Mark

Hi
Heh. Well at least the video title was honest :P
