Did you know that The port authority of New York and New Jersey use a square shaped key known as a vapor key I am a staff member with port authority I have a large ring of keys both for work and also for my office in garden city as a network administrator
@elevatorgeek1234 This as are all of the modernizations are the FEO-K1 key. The only unique elevators are the first two modernizations that were completed of the 1968 Dovers (the one that I did a fire service on a few videos ago). Those two take the 515.
Interesting fixtures in the fire service panel! Also at least for the fire panel it has a working door close button unlike the main door close button which usually doesn't work. Anyways nice video!
Thanks. The other door close button becomes active in fire service. Kinda a waste to have two though. I wish they would activate the main door close for general use but thats a Schindler for ya.
Yes they are those flat style that would definitely be difficult. If they had to be used regularly, the outside film label of the button would most likely wear off and expose the electronics itself.
I'm visually impaired, but I've been interested with seeing how many key slots there are on an elevator control panel. How can you tell what keys go into which key holes? Also, that sounds pretty cool how the elevator has different service modes.
Hey i am visualy impared as well you just have to learn witch keys go in the certain switches that is what i did because i have an elevator key collection
What type of key each lock takes depends on a few things. 1. The brand of elevator. 2. The key switch porpoise 3. The location ( where required) 4. The type of fixtures (buttons)
No testing these does not affect the smoke detectors. However, the smoke detectors when activated will send the elevator to the nearest floor, doors will open, and it will remain locked until the fire service is activated or until the smoke detector is cleared.
The Door open and Door close buttons on the main panel are often neglected since having them break won't bring the whole elevator out of service, so they may go unrepaired for weeks. How many times have you been in an elevator where the door close button didn't seem to do anything?
We use two different Innovation fire service keys. FE0-K1 and #515. The FE0-K1 is the one mostly used on our campus as we have tried to standardize as many of the elevators with the same fire service as we could. We purchase the keys from a company but you have to verify with them that your job requires the use of these keys. I have seen them on Ebay as well.
Ex515 is the regular innovation fixtures key, but after 2007, all elevators installed must use the FEOK1 for fire service. So this elevator takes the FEOK1, you normally tell just by looking at the fire service key switch, if the elevator is not innovation, and it has a barrel key for phase 1, and the rest of the key switches are not barrel key switches, then it probably takes the FEOK1
Nice long shot of the fire service key at the beginning.
It's interesting to see a working door close button on a schindler
Excellent demonstration, good work.

I did not know that. Ill take a gander in December when I come up for a short vacay in the city.
Mine were supplied from my work. I have seen them on ebay though. You may want to look there.

N.E.A. Elevators are the buttons in the fire cabinet active in normal service
@@AlabamaElevators ivan reid, probably not, I tried on a ThyssenKrupp Fire Cabinet, they didn't work.
Epic! door close works on a schindler!
@elevatorgeek1234 I will try to if I can. I will try to get that done over the Christmas break.
Those buttons inside of the cabinet are terrible. They are probably a huge pain to use with firemen gloves
Yes they are those flat style that would definitely be difficult. If they had to be used regularly, the outside film label of the button would most likely wear off and expose the electronics itself.
That's one reason the only button I press in the fire panel is the call cancel button. Door-wise, I just use the standard door open and close buttons.
Wow so many times you have to stick the key in to do anything... if there was a real fire, they'd be in a hurry...
Nice elevator
What University is this?
ASU in Arkansas

Sometimes its not easy with the round barrel keys. Each key is stamped with a number and that helps remember which one goes where.

Oh okay Thank you for your reply. I wonder how that fire key for the elevator got, supplied from your work Please Reply Thank you.
It looks like a very basic installation. Whenever you test fireman's Operation, do you also trip one of the smoke detectors in front of the elevator?
No testing these does not affect the smoke detectors. However, the smoke detectors when activated will send the elevator to the nearest floor, doors will open, and it will remain locked until the fire service is activated or until the smoke detector is cleared.

dickcheney6 they're disabled in normal service that's why they never do anything in normal service
The door open button is required to work, door close buttons are not, I have come across many elevators where door close works.
Schindler 330A!
Where did you get the keys from. What is the innovation fixtures product code?
We use two different Innovation fire service keys. FE0-K1 and #515.

In a video you said that you use these keys for your job... what is your job?
Check your CZcams messages.
the chime is broken
Actually, when the elevator is placed in fire service, all chimes are muted. Not too sure why thought. Thanks for watching!
thank you but the chime itself is not working
Can you get me, some elevator fire service keys, because I am studying how to be a service person. Thank You.
Search eBay, there's a lot of keys out there.
Does it take the 515 key
ELEVATORS AND TRAINS BY GAMINGADJECTIVES no this one takes the feok1 key
Ex515 is the regular innovation fixtures key, but after 2007, all elevators installed must use the FEOK1 for fire service.

This takes the FEOK1 key
