That keyhole is for a drop key in the US. Triangle keys are mostly used in Europe or other countries and elevator rescues are normally for firefighters.
Sometimes the drop key is a metal rod about a foot long that is inserted in the outside hall door and pushed to disengage that door's locking mechanism.
BRIGHT SIDE:“have u ever gotten stuck in an elevator or anywhere else?” Me:“yessss!!! Everyday, in ur comments section, it is also like an elevator going down and up, but I get stuck when I’m reading a nice comment, which I think is kinda different bcz in an elevator u don’t get stuck for something nice” 😜😜😜
I’m sorry, but 2:58 is wrong! An elevator will never plummeted down. It’s just not possible. First of all, let’s say if your riding a roped elevator, just one of the ropes are enough to make the lector function. The rest are there for safety just in case one snaps. Let’s say, they all snap, then in all elevator machine rooms, there is something called a governor. If the elevator’s speed is abnormal, the governor will immediately stop the elevator. Therefor, this is not possible (Elevator falling) Also, the special Elevator key is called a Drop Key!
Me: Hey look bright side made a video BrightSide: of course I did Me: Why are you so smart! How do you come up with these things? BrightSide: Well, you see I was born with 7 brains Me: Oh, that makes sense
Not all elevators have the hole on every elevator door on every floor. The hole may be located on the bottom floor elevator door. Not all elevators have panels on the top that can be removed.
@@elevator_satellite You got me. I agree. The building I work in has that set up. It's an elevator original to the building that was built in the 1960's.
Elevators in the United States are the safest as long as proper maintenance and inspections are done as the manufacture suggest. Always use a elevator for what it’s for, follow the proper capacity , do not tamper with anything that’s in the elevator, unless you are a license vertical express technician, use it as you would any mechanical equipment, it is not a playground to just let your children play in.
The most irritating thing about bright side is that they give mixed information. I noticed it again in this video. In this video you said to lay face down, in an other video you said to lay face up placing something soft under your head and protecting your face with your hands (if I remember correctly).
The key that goes in the hole is know as a drop key or a lunar key. Building superintendents are not allowed to have them as they have no idea how to safely use them. As for the lunar key being used rarely, an elevator mechanic uses them multiple times a day. Holding a button and the close door button doesn’t do anything. You cannot open the doors from the inside because there is a restrictor rod that prevents the doors from opening more than a few inches
Lol, I got many landing door lift keys and I am not an official engineer lol but I do have alot of knowledge and experience on lifts and their workings.
I survived an elevator freefall accident...starting from 18th floor. From18th to 9th it was very turbulent. Elevator moving from side to side violently...Brakes were engaged (i think) Stopped on 9th floor for several minutes then plunged. Visual picture of me in Bar Method class, "flex your knees" so I flexed my knees. when elevator stopped hard my knees buckled and i was in a squat position. I sustained a brain injury even though my head never hit floor or wall. In my opinion, lying down will cause a more severe brain injury...closed head injury Vs. open head 🤷♀️
The koln cathedral is very tall and is all manual and takes 45 min to an hour to walk up. The notre dame cathedral also all manual. They are taller than 5-7 floors

Got stuck once. It was my bachelor part night. Was stuck with my best man for almost 2hrs. Fortunately we had a fifth of Wild Turkey. Unfortunately by the time we got out, we could hardly walk
Don't lie down! Stand with your feet together, knees slightly bent, and gently lean forward. Same principle as the survival protocol for falling from heights
The one about pressing doors close and going straight to your floor is bogus. Nobody would install that when they can install car preference or independent service key switches. As an elevator enthusiast it really bugs me when famous people say stuff about elevators that aren’t true because they have no clue what they’re talking about!
my grandma my sister and i got stuck in the elevator in between floors but that time workers were also inside the elevator when that happened they did something for a while then the elevator started moving again

Random fact:
There is actually a difference between coffins and caskets - coffins are typically tapered and six-sided, while caskets are rectangular.
The Short Answer: It is a keyhole for a drop key to open the elevator doors manually
Yeah. I only clicked this because I wanted to so how cringe the comments are.

@@elevator_satellite You got me. I agree. The building I work in has that set up. It's an elevator original to the building that was built in the 1960's.
It has already saved my life.
Ok
The key hole is not always to save stuck people the engeniers use the cartop to mantain the lift.
Informative

When I get a chance and when and if school goes back in person, I should try the VIP elevator thing. LOL!
This is one of his best vids
Has anyone ever thought what it bright side is wrong?!
Thanks for the info, I don't understand how you know all these things! I have learned many things thanks to BRIGHT SIDE!
Cool
You are actually the 1st comment which is even cooler!
In quarantine this is the perfect vid to watch
I learned to create fantastic riddles in my channel .Thank you
Nice video m8 ✌️
Wow amazing about the elevator underground in the mine.
Thanks for that Info!
Elevators now go sideways; check out ThyssenKrupp sideways elevators and tell me what you think
You should’ve included this fact:
Elevators always chime once to let passengers know they’re going up and twice when they’re going down
Not always.
Wait one question what will happen if there’s no hole in the elevator???
The most irritating thing about bright side is that they give mixed information. I noticed it again in this video. In this video you said to lay face down, in an other video you said to lay face up placing something soft under your head and protecting your face with your hands (if I remember correctly).
I’m claustrophobic so I avoid elevators at all costs and haven’t been in one since 2019
I am claustrophobic too and I try to avoid elevators myself and I will only go in one if I have to or I will use the stairs or escalators
Me at 10 pm: ok one more video
Me at three am:
As a swedish elevator engineer i can confirm this. And it’s called a triangle key
That small hole in the elevator door is called a drop hole and they open the doors in an emergency with a drop key
The key that goes in the hole is know as a drop key or a lunar key. Building superintendents are not allowed to have them as they have no idea how to safely use them.
As for the lunar key being used rarely, an elevator mechanic uses them multiple times a day.
Holding a button and the close door button doesn’t do anything.
You cannot open the doors from the inside because there is a restrictor rod that prevents the doors from opening more than a few inches
Lol, I got many landing door lift keys and I am not an official engineer lol but I do have alot of knowledge and experience on lifts and their workings.
I never ride an elavator because I live in a small town.
What small town
How many videos can one channel upload in a day?
I survived an elevator freefall accident...starting from 18th floor.
From18th to 9th it was very turbulent. Elevator moving from side to side violently...Brakes were engaged (i think)
Stopped on 9th floor for several minutes then plunged.
Visual picture of me in Bar Method class, "flex your knees" so
I flexed my knees.
when elevator stopped hard my knees buckled and i was in a squat position.
I sustained a brain injury even though my head never hit floor or wall.
In my opinion, lying down will cause a more severe brain injury...closed head injury Vs. open head 🤷♀️
So, are all elevators equipped with the same key? Or is each one special and ONLY fit one??? I assume the same for fireman's accsess?
Not all places have them, such as California
The "car preference trick using the floors and close buttons only work on Schindler, ThyssenKrupp, and KONE
Schindler
I get so much knowledge from bright side Thanks to bright side for giving us knowledge
The koln cathedral is very tall and is all manual and takes 45 min to an hour to walk up. The notre dame cathedral also all manual. They are taller than 5-7 floors

Most of my friends have these keys. They ride on top of lifts.

This amazing
Learned so much about elevators. Love it.
I rarely ride a elevator edit: I rode the elevator 2 times in my life
How to open the "glass-doored " elevator....? Cuz they don't have holes
Simple answer.
Air
No need to watch a 10 minute video explaining why you need air
Uh no. It's for the key. There is plenty of air in the shaft and there is ventilation so YOU ARE WRONG
Video is SO EPIC
325 million rides a day but there are 7 billion people on the planet and he said the average person makes 4 trips?? Bruh
Yay finally I know how to save my life in elavater
It's so you can insert a special tool to open the door while the elevator is not there
It’s called a lunar key and there are safety’s that won’t let the car plummet down the hoist way
Thank for today 🙏
tiny hole in the elevator door so you can send smoke signals
I always wondered what it does...
My apartment is 23 years old and the elevator is too and still it only has got stuck 20 times
At my university I use the lift 4-6 times per day sometimes 8 LOL
"The number 13 is unlucky."
Me: NUMBER IS NUMBER.
I don't use elevators very much a day. My dad uses elevators all the time at work.
There should be a button that allows you to open the door only when it’s stopped, oh wait.. there is
Hi bright side can you show us how you make your thumbnails
Elevators are really messed up
They let me get high
Then they put me down
Sort of like bullies in anybody's life
The one about pressing doors close and going straight to your floor is bogus. Nobody would install that when they can install car preference or independent service key switches. As an elevator enthusiast it really bugs me when famous people say stuff about elevators that aren’t true because they have no clue what they’re talking about!
We will not use elevators because of lock down
Yes I know when I was stuck in my school that came in handy
Instead of having no thirteenth floor button, we have 14A and 14B(14A is the thirteenth floor in our apartment).
my grandma my sister and i got stuck in the elevator
in between floors but that time workers were also inside the elevator when that happened
they did something for a while then the elevator started moving again
i dont think they're workers they might be elevator services
Cool vid
And what use do i have with a elevator key hole on the outside of the elevator if i am locked inside.
but at malaysia it dosen't have a tiny hole why (tell me an reason?)
I use an Elevator at my old Apartment and my middle school
You can't go out the ceiling of an elevator? Really? And they're sealed from the outside? Really?
I already knew this. But, some of the other stuff was interesting.
I didn't even knew they had a hole...
