Lol, I think all elevators are required to have it. Also it holds the doors open and they don't close until you hold door close in until they're shut. But yeah for 2 floors, it seems rarely that anyone with the key would use it.
Ah ok. I guess it's a hit or miss between A or B when it comes to light and fan. Anyway, do you happen to know if Independent takes out access control (keypads, badge readers etc) like fire service? It's something I've wondered for a while
@@ECFE I do happen to know, on some elevators independent service overrides locked floors. Most of the time it does not but sometimes you'll find it will work.
@@Jamestube8439 it definitely would be a lot harder to get permission due to liabilities and the simple fact that you’re getting access to the hoistway, which is a dangerous place if you haven’t been trained properly.
@@ARelevatorsThat would require permission from an elevator tech and likely their company as well. Even if a building owner gave you permission to do that or if you just so happened to be a building owner, most states have laws against accessing the hoistway without the presence of elevator personnel for safety.
Ha I have done this before in roblox using remote controls for the cortex elevator! Unfortunately it dosent unlock locked floors like fire service does!
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 It depends, on most Otis elevators it doesn’t allow you to go to locked floors. However I have come across some that do let you go to locked floors in Independent Service
True, some Otis elevators have cabinets but have a few key switches like for inspection or the light. Schindler HT has cabinets for their elevators too.
@@semisoldev Yeah absolutely! But that’s all up to you, filming and studying different types of elevators is something I really enjoy doing. Again that’s up to you, it’s always nice to have new members in the community so feel free to start filming some time and I’ll be sure to watch some of your videos! :)
Otis keys not made by Northeast. That's interesting. I have all the Otis keys except for UTF and above. Those are kind of useless. Most fire service keyswitches that I've seen use the universal key depending on which state it's in.
I used to ride this elevator a lot when I was little, I am probably gonna film this very soon
Nice work, James!
Thanks
Nice
1:51 the key got stuck
Wow I wonder why they made independent service in the elevator if you anyways just have 2 floors

Interesting, I thought these newer fan and light switches used UTA.
UTA does fan, independent service, and light on some Otis elevators. UTA can also do inspection on some elevators and possibly run/stop.

Interesting... thanks
@@ECFE You're welcome
I whish you could show how to change the vertical 1,5 m light tubes in an OTIS elevator of the year 2000 (or late 1990's). Possibly a Bedlift series.
I honestly have no idea how to do that.
it would be really interesting to see a hoistway access key switch demo if you could find someone who would allow you to do so.
That’s gonna be a lot harder to get permission to do. DieselDucy has a video on his channel. Here’s a link ruclips.net/video/NetlfDrE4XY/видео.html

Sups James, Long Time No See!
Hey what's up! It has been a long time.
Ha I have done this before in roblox using remote controls for the cortex elevator! Unfortunately it dosent unlock locked floors like fire service does!
Ah gotcha. Roblox is kind of different when it comes to those controls I think.
@@Jamestube8439 not really stil has hold door close until doors fully close! Call cancel dose indeed work in independent service!
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 Well I was referring to the locked floors
@@Jamestube8439 is locked floors bypassed from independent service irl? Like fire service in roblox does unlock locked floors! For cortex
@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 It depends, on most Otis elevators it doesn’t allow you to go to locked floors. However I have come across some that do let you go to locked floors in Independent Service
Hey Jamestube8439! Where is this elevator located?
Undisclosed location
Hey! Who turned off the lights?
Lol
Incoming this April 1 2022 have largest concert
Do you remember how often and how many times you’ve been denied permission to use elevator keys? Like how often they’d say no?
I've been denied a handful of times, not exactly sure the exact number of times it's happened.
What key is for the fan?
UTA
Some have a switch when you flick it
True, some Otis elevators have cabinets but have a few key switches like for inspection or the light. Schindler HT has cabinets for their elevators too.
Jamestube 8439 that’s true
@@Jamestube8439 kinda strange that there 2 stop switch’s in the elevator one has a key and the other on is a switch in the cabinet
@@noahharris2260 Well if the firefighters need to stop the elevator for an emergency, they can press that button rather than using a key switches.
@@Jamestube8439 do you have elevator keys for different countries or just USA
Where is the fan
On the ceiling
Where do you get these keys? (Out of curiosity)
eBay and a couple other sites.
@@Jamestube8439 do you think I should get into elevators more? I’m starting to be very interested in them…

Yeah so the seller I bought some of them from made custom key cuts which I definitely found interesting.
That's interesting. Happy thanksgiving by the way.
@@ex5138 Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Thanks.
Black out
Yeah lol
