    That elevator looked odd not having the scissor gate on it, I like the old school Otis Elevators with the inner scissor gate doors on them, I'm sure those elevators that still have the scissor gate doors have been updated with today's technology

    At the end of the video, when you rode the other Elevator and you pressed 6, and the Elevator did not go, the reason for that is because that floor is locked off, and it was actually flashing, expecting you to enter a code.

    You can see that this elevator had an inner scissor / mesh door at one time by the track visible in the lower brass edge and the original inner door could have been manually opened or open automatically when the car stops at a floor level, and only the outer door is lever to open, I have seen both in buildings and residences as well. In residences the outer door is Push/pull or if bypass it is automatic and the operation of the elevator is completely automatic, I have seen completely automatic Otis elevators in residences as early as 1914 and that one still works perfectly.

    @@HeritageElevators No this one is an Otis and has very nice manual brass and glass bypass outer pocket doors for each of the four floors of travel and a brass scissor door on the car also manual, the doors are very, very easy to operate, like easier than most sliding exterior doors. What I meant by fully automatic is the call button on each floor will call the car and the buttons in the car let you select your desired floor all with you as the rider the only operator.

    Is there a special reoson, that they still use these old technics. The elevators look nice but especially the door arrangement looks not so nice and not very inviting for a hotel. When I see th condition of the basement stop without door and all the cable under the cabin I think in most parts of europe it would be impossible to operate such an elevator. I am a bit surprized to see this from and civilized country.

    It's a very hazardous condition with those frayed electrical cables beneath the elevator cab plus the cable laying along the pit bottom. Beneath the elevator cab are at least two traveling cables with multiple insulated conductors within the jacket for the floor buttons, light, fan, emergency alarm/stop phone door control. Traveling cables are used in manually controlled elevators liked this one, thick cables (needed with the high current draw) at least 4 cables
