Here is the problems with the General Dover elevator 1. The elevator can’t be called 1:11 2. Has trouble closing its door 1:41 3. Instead of going down it moves up which makes it over level of the floor 1:48 4. The moter kicks in and kicks out 1:48 *Listen Carefully* 5. Because of overlevel, the elevator doors get confused and struggle to open 1:57 6. 4 and 5 on the indicator lights are burned out 2:10 7. The moter sounds unhealthy 2:13 8. The elevator doesn’t level properly 2:20 9. Therefore the elevator door gets confused and struggle to open 2:20 10: down chime does 3 dings but the first ding cut off??? 2:21 11. 2:30 Andrew tells you what’s wrong here 12. The elevator struggles to go down what so ever 3:00 + 13. Number 4 button messed up 3:38 14. The moter kicks in for half a second and the elevator nudges 4:24 Poor elevator been neglected 😢

This elevator, according to the Missouri elevator records, was finally shut down on 24 May 2012. The most recent operating certificate expired on 15 October 2005.

At the time you had filmed this, there must have been a tenant still occupying the 3rd floor.

One time I got stuck in an elevator it was horrible. I pushed the floor I was going to and the doors closed but the elevator did not move. Luckily it was a glass one so I knocked on the glass to get my moms attention. And she reported it to a manager and the manager rescued me.

A tip: next time that happens to you, try pressing "door open". 😉 Hold it until the doors have fully opened and you can safely step out. P.s. Chances are, in your case, a contact that signals to the controller that the doors are fully closed and locked failed to make, thus rendering the elevator unable to depart. Sometimes, simply cycling the doors again will wipe any corrosion off the contacts and solve the issue temporarily.

Same thing that happened to me at the opportunity. Park parking deck in Akron, Ohio last weak we were able to ride up and once we send the elevator down and tried to get the other one the elevator started nudging on me and one of my friends and we tried to get it to move several times and it did not work so we took the stairs instead.

The last tenant in the building was the barber shop seen at 1:01. Once they moved out the building was locked up and put for sale. It appears that someone has bought it and is developing a six story building with apartments and retail space.
