We
see service calls come from buildings when they have new people moving in the
building, deliveries and work completed in the building’s units. Please find a few tips to prevent a elevator
service call
Use independent service – Independent service
is a function on some elevators which allows the user to keep the doors open
and allow the user to have full control of the elevator. This means that no one else can call the
elevator or use the elevator unless you have control of the elevator. This will prevent the doors from being banged
up or knocked off the track. Most
buildings require a deposit when they issue the key to the user. Please note that older elevators systems may not have this option. The independent key switch is located in the car station and should be labeled "independent service" on/off.
Vacuum out car and door sills – The car and
door sills are the tracks on the bottom of the elevator. We find that screws, quarters and general
debris get stuck in the track and cause the elevator door to bind or not fully
close.
Keep track of move in and move outs,
deliveries and workers in the building – If buildings keep track of who is
using the elevator for heavier duty use they may be careful when using the
elevator and not be as careless.
