mrmattandmrchay lifts like this are what i was talking about in my question to the Q&A if you remember. Don't worry, i'll wait my turn, you don't need to answer now ;)
Damien Tyler and to think i have loads of these where i live from all sorts of decades. Apparently these types of lifts were the only thing installed to residential buildings (and very rarely commercial buildings too) in my country up to 1995 thereabouts. From national brands that don't exist anymore up to Otis and Schindler, we have them all. some of them are in my channel. but i warn the camera is not very good. Some Lisbon buildings even have those very very old scissor gate lifts from anywhere between the 20's and the mid 50's...i don't have those in my town but if you search you may find.
+ELPaso1990TX I don't remember seeing any method to open the outer doors from the outside, without the lift present either. Maybe the lift is so old that these were introduced at a later date.
This lift is terrible without light, is could be scare me at it. That is no wonder inside the lift, no way to ride it. I'm suggust you this, posed be fixtures the light on this lift. Is startled me this... Is freaking me out this is way to looks so dark inside the lift is!
