Do not ever touch doors or open them like unless you know what you are doing, you could have broken the elevator even more. Get assistance instead of doing that again, you're lucky you didn't break the elevator even more than it already was.
To be fair I think it was for that reason. From memory the sort of lifts being referred to there were goods lifts that passengers are not allowed to enter.
I like how she was blaming the kids that they were treating it like a toy when clearly it was a malfunction with the door and was poorly maintained. Actually, it’s a McDonalds, a place that’s clearly not a goto for elevator maintenance.
I completely agree lol. I figured somebody else in the elevator community besides me would comment on this lol. ThE ElEvAtOr iS NoT A ToY shut tf up obviously its not. I love how the guys were screwing up the clutch by pressing it and shoving it, in fact that's just gonna make the doors worse.
Or how about the fact she was blaming their kids, when she was the one clearly not keeping a proper eye on them… oh but she “told them, it wasn’t a toy.” So she knew they were effin around with it and just let it slide. I think that’s the real noteable action here
They where probably jumping inside which made the elevator think it was malfunctioning. Don’t let your kids jump inside of an elevator because it will get stuck
I am starting to get pissed off by people like you. “tHiS iS wHy yOu tAkE tHe sTaiRs” Lifts work like 95% of the time and if you don't muck about then you are probably going to be fine. And if you get stuck you have an extremly low chance of getting hurt if you just stay calm and wait INSIDE; don't try to escape because that is how most people get killed. Also *LIFTS DON'T FREEFALL!* I am sick of people thinking lifts freefall because they don't. The chance of a lift freefalling is so slim you have a higher chance of winning the lottery 10X in a row than freefalling in a lift. Also thousands of people fall and die in stairs per year meanwhile only like 100 people per year die in lifts and that is mostly just in china and other places that don't have good regulations. Anyways, please stop commenting “this is why i take the stairs” Sorry for rambling.
Everyone who mentions what to do when you get stuck:keep calm and don’t panic! This family:mmmmm no thanks, let’s panic It’s fine, I would panic if I got stuck as well(maybe)
When I was on vacay in Cyprus there was a lift there it was a glass kone ecodisc I loved it I like going in elevators and even go on escalators on my owl the play place was fun I really recommend taking a visit there
Well good thing elevators will not take off if the shaft door is open like that because of a safety circuit built in because you wouldve either gotten crushed between the cab and the shaftway or you wouldve ended up in the shaft or something
The lift's outer door was open. Because of the safety mechanisms of the lift, it won't move with the doors open. Some lifts will go out of service or shut down if the safety circuit is unexpectedly broken, and the fire brigade or lift engineer will have to go on top of the lift or into the logic cabinet to reset it. Because it looks like the outer door detached from the inner door, a problem that happens a lot with lifts that are poorly maintained, it could be possible to reattach the door by simply pushing it closed, which will connect the safety circuit and make the lift move, or pull the interlock lever to unlock the inner door and free the passengers. There is almost no danger in doing the latter (as long as the lift is stopped at a floor) because the lift can't move with the doors open and the fire brigade will most likely do the same thing to free the passengers, they would use a special key to unlock the doors and free the passengers. Edit: After slamming the outer door shut, it reattached to the inner door. The lift then detected that the doors were closed, and, because someone pressed the floor button or the open button, the lift opened the door.
Just started working back at McDonalds. This time I'm working in a two storey building with a lift but unlike the one in this video it is kept locked and only made available to wheelchair and pushchair users.
If I were there when that happened, I would've intervened. I'd approach the elevator and say "Kids I'm gonna get you out of there right now. I just need all of you to stand clear of the door.", then I'd slam that outer door shut and badabing badaboom, it would open. If anyone there were to ask how I did it, I'd tell them that the amount of force I used was enough to reconnect the doors. Then I'd tell the parents that it's not their kids' fault and that the restaurant needs to take better care of this elevator or else it could happen again.
They got stuck in some Dover impulse. And no, it’s not: “iT bRoKe BeCaUsE yOu GuYs WeRe PlAyInG wItH iT” It’s McDonald’s neglecting to maintain their elevator. This video attracted a lot of elevator enthusiasts, like me
I've seen fast-food restaurants with upstairs dining areas -- one particular McD's had this, and the back of the cab also had rear doors for access to the back area (easier for employees to bring a mop bucket to clean the upper floor, etc).
When people say “elevators are not toys” idot annoys me quite a bit. I was told that a lot as a kid but as a kid I knew basic elevator courtesy and not to jump in them. There isn’t any harm in just taking them up and down a few times, normally while not trying to break it. If it does break when you are being super sensible then really it’s the elevators fault not yours
@@bradentheman1373 what happened was the outer door was disconnected too early and safety tripped. The elevator couldn’t move and the inner door locked in place. Slamming the door or reconnecting it using a key would connect it, which they accidentally did. Only reason I keep my triangle key on me (triangle key is a common drop key in the uk) is for situations like this.
Ah classic. The door rollers didn’t do what they are supposed to. That tripped the safety lock and caused the elevator to stall where it was located at that time. They need to get that thing schecked out asap or more people will get stuck…
1:30 Next time a door gets stuck in a weird position, just use that much force on it instead of what you were doing. This is potentially unsafe for the equipment and you would've made the damages even more pricy by attempting these contents. If you use enough force the coupler will reconnect the interlocks and the doors will operate fine.
Please never attempt to defeat an interlock unless you absolutely know what you are doing. What you did is very dangerous, and more importantly, put your children in danger. Please, be smarter next time something like this happens.
Why the kids being blamed for this? Clearly the elevator is malfunctioning. Kids can’t make the elevator stuck unless they jump and cause teen breaks. Plus the door interlocks were broken. Get it properly maintained.
There's a no loitering sign right in front of the elevator, so technically the kids are loitering and should be arrested, convicted, sentenced and sent to juvie hall. Just kidding folks.
Omg Im so thankfull Im not as silly as these kids to play with an elevator like I actually know how to use one the right way like its way too easy its just pressing the button to call it and to go to your floor and these kids were probably just pressing the buttons willy nilly
You shouldn't be opening the door trying to pry the door open yourself. Should have let someone who worked at Mcdonald's know so they should have alerted the FD. Could have made things worse. Two looks like the one in Orlando Florida, one of the world's largest ones.
Yeah -- make the kids feel bad when the elevator itself is to blame, according to the experts and enthusiasts here -- just rotten luck that they were in there when it screwed up.
Do not ever touch doors or open them like unless you know what you are doing, you could have broken the elevator even more. Get assistance instead of doing that again, you're lucky you didn't break the elevator even more than it already was.

I Just Really Liked when The Kids Were screaming in The Dover Elevator 🤣
I worked at a single storey McDonalds and remember as part of my induction having to do a section about how to use the goods lift safely!
Maybe it’s useful if you ever have to work in a different McDonalds restaurant with a lift to cover a staff shortage.

Use a triangle key to mechanically open the door. A Lift technician or someone else may have one.
i think it takes a drop key
This is America. We don't use triangle keys.
