what a dumbass. When you press Penhouse in any elevator it always goes straight to the Penhouse. Thats just one of the features of getting to the Penhouse. People who can afford the Penhouse dont want to be with common people

Must not be for all elevators. Out of curiosity, how tall is your office building? Also, how many lifts do they have?

I'm curious if this is more prominent in taller buildings, or ones with fewer lifts...

9 stories tall, and I started at the top floor. My building is under six years old.

Interesting to note that there is no 13th floor on the display. Superstitious perhaps?

I dont believe any hotels have the 13 floor. number 13 is partners with demons or such.

Shimmen.
You're a dumbass. Go jump off a bridge. But, before you do please notice that the two arrows pointing at each other in an elevator IS the close door button.
I have now just lost faith in the human race.....

imbetterthanyouuu,
YOU'RE a dumbass, because as you're clearly not aware, there ARE modern-day elevators without close-door buttons. i've been in britain for nearly a year, and i've yet to see any elevators in this city with a close-door button.

In most elevators even the close door button is inactive.
Penthouse is almost always an express entry.
In most elevators you will need a key or a code to override normal operation. Just enjoy the ride they are already programed to make it as swift as is possible.

This is bull#$%@. Having worked for two major elevator service companies (Otis and Dover) I can tell you there is no "secret" button combination programmed into the system. There is usually a keyswitch for "Independent Service" which bypasses any floor calls for the elevator in use. Sometimes this switch is hidden behind a locked access panel. Find a way to pick that lock or get a hold of a key, and you're in luck - 90% of the elevators from a manufacturer use the same key for same features - so one key will usually work in other elevators of the same manufacturer. If you got the "trick" to work, most likely it was a coincidence and no one else was attempting to call the elevator.

JLBWA (3) 8 months ago
If you can get a hold of a "Fire Service Recall Key" for any manufacturer elevator, that key will make the elevator return to the ground floor (where you use it) without stopping anywhere on the way down. And it makes the people inside have to listen to an annoying buzz on the non-stop ride down!

I work in an elevator company(OTIS) as Engineer customer service.I think dont overide the elev. unnecessarily only if you have a sick person or some emergency.Everybody wants to use it why do you think people should wait for you until you reach ur floor for them to access the elev.It is not fair.Only stupid, irresponsible people will do that.

emadex (3) 6 months ago
This worked for me. I used to get to the 24th floor, which was all the more impressive considering that the building I live in only has 10 floors.

It dont seem to work for schindler lifts either.
When lifts skip a floor its usually because those levels are a services level for HVAC and other services.

1995 the elevator union passed a law to all elevators after that year has a bypass by mean of a key or a code...

chilis3 (-1) 3 months ago
So, do the button combination, and then choose a lower floor. If you stop at the lower floor, it doesn't work. Unless I am missing something here, the code is activated only with the two button combination, not any other subsequent requests or calls.

This is deal with this. An elevator is a product - and is sold to the building developer. So...we simply have to find out what the brand of the elevator is. Not all elevators are programmed the same way. Does anyone know the brand of this elevator...I NEED TO KNOW!
