Elevator Malfunction

Each elevator is equipped with a telephone, which rings directly into Kastle. In the event an elevator should malfunction while you are in the cab, press the call button and give the operator the building location and the cab number you are in (this information is displayed on a sign on the elevator panel). The elevator company will contact us and we will dispatch an engineer and elevator company personnel immediately. Our engineer will stay with you until the elevator company arrives to assist you in evacuating the cab.

While being trapped in an elevator may be an inconvenience, you are in no danger as long as you remain in the cab. Never try to pry the elevator doors open to get out. It is extremely dangerous since the cab may not be properly aligned with the floor. Wait for a qualified elevator mechanic or fireman to assist you.

In an emergency fire situation, elevators should never be used. If you are traveling in an elevator when an alarm sounds, the elevators will automatically go to the first floor and open their doors. This occurs one cab at a time. Please be patient.

In the event of a power outage, elevators will continue to operate using our emergency power generator. Should an outage occur, elevator lights will remain on, but the car itself will temporarily cease moving. Each elevator will automatically return to the lobby, their doors will open, and they will remain inoperable until the power has been restored.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, ELEVATORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR EVACUATION. USE THE STAIRWELLS.
