Sucky Morning..Help..
Sucky Morning.. Help.. quote:
Here's the deal. I live in a condo on the fourth floor. Problem is, i dropped my key this morning and of course, it went right through the crack between the elevator door and the building. So.. my keys are in the elevator shaft right now. Luckily i had my spare key inside the car....Don't ask.. Got my car unlocked through a neighbor's AAA..
I called the building manager.. he wanted $500.00 to get it out.. I asked him if he wanted me to bend over before or after i give him the money.. He hung up on me. HA.. Anyways, about 3 hours of tinkering with a branch (yard) and two wire coat hangers (crossing guard) and a flashlight (janitor at school next door) i couldn't find/see them. I went to the fourth floor and looked down the crack with a flashlight. My guess is that it fell down, hit something on teh way down and bounced to the far back of the elevator.. QUESTION... does anyone know how to rig the elevator so that it will go up but the door will stay open so that i can jump in and grab it? Its one door that slides from right to left. Its not an elevator where i can stick something in the middle and pry open. I can always make a new set but i want my regular keys back.. any help would be good..
THANKS!!!!
