Broken door restrictor on the JCPenney elevator

[EvergreenElevators]

this is EXACTLY what my local jcpenney elevator does. the door restrictor is "missing", and it leaves a gap just like this if there are no calls. This really needs to be addressed, as this is quite dangerous. it is very hard to pry the doors open during travel because the gap is very tight, however I'll eventually manage.
The elevator has been redtagged before, yet it's still in operation 😳

Also, elevator doors do not have interlocks on the inner doors. Instead, they use a gate switch & a door restrictor. That's what these are missing, as well as a door operator that doesn't bother keeping the doors closed.

Elevators do NOT have interlocks on the car doors, however some elevators have what is called a "door restrictor", a device that locks the car doors when the elevator is moving (or at least when it is NOT within a door zone). in some states (possibly including Iowa, but not sure), door restrictors are a required retrofit, but in others (including California to my knowledge) door restrictors are NOT required on existing elevators.

This has to be the most different broken elevator video.

That’s so dangerous when an elevator can never run with the sensor doors

Bro that's gonna get red tagged. I hope not modded

What are you doing in this elevator?!! You put breaking the doors to wide open it is! Stop there, why did you doing this, mate? 😧

Wait so it keeps moving even with an open door? Holy fuck.
