At the 39-year-old Hong Tak Residence in Chaiwan, one of the outer doors of the elevator in one of the buildings opened strangely, and he was surprised to see a dark trough. If she accidentally slipped, she might fall into the trough and be injured.

Resident Mr. Cai recalled that yesterday afternoon (4th), he found that the outer door of the elevator was opened, and the elevator car carrying other residents slowly descended. When he reached the floor, the inner door was opened twice. He hurriedly called: "You are going out. Hurry up, it's dangerous!" The residents hurried out of the elevator upon hearing the words.

Cai pointed to the management office to report that the repairs were completed that night, but there was still a lingering fear. He said bluntly: "The first time I saw a man in the world, I really thought I was returning to the mainland."

The elevator car then descends to the first floor.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, Mr. Tsai was about to take the No. 4 lift on the first floor of De Lu Building. He was surprised that one of the outer doors opened, revealing some wires in the lift trough and the outer door.

At that time, the elevator car was slowly descending on the upper floors. When it reached its floor, the inner door opened and there was another male resident in the elevator.

Mr. Cai did not dare to enter, and the inner door closed quickly, showing that the outer door had also become ajar.

The elevator stayed on the floor for a while, and suddenly the inner door opened again, and Cai hurriedly hurried away the male occupant in the plane.

Afterwards, Mr. Cai immediately notified the management office and asked to send someone to follow up. The repairs were completed that night.

Tsai described the elevators in the building as often broken down or repaired. "Every time it breaks, there will be no parts. I tried to do it and it didn’t come back for a week." But this is the first time I have seen the situation. I really thought I was returning to the mainland.” He also mentioned that the housing estate has just completed major repairs, but the main exterior wall renovation has been carried out, and no improvement has been seen in other areas.

Many netizens living in the Chai Wan district were surprised when they heard about the incident. Some people even described it as a "ghost gate", saying that if there are children, they are afraid of accidents.

Some netizens criticized the management company's service as not as good as it is, "I really want to ask about building maintenance? How about maintenance? The management is poor, and the surroundings are rotten!" Some netizens think that it should be notified to the Fire Services Department and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department to seal it up. Check to ensure safety.

The reporter went to the building to find out about the situation with many residents, but none of them knew that the lift had malfunctioned yesterday.

Some male residents said that the building did not post any notices to inform the residents of this situation, "You must post the dangerous thing", "You must take care of it, if it is not because someone has fallen and gone."

Residents pointed out that because the building is nearly 40 years old and the lifts are also aging, they break down from time to time. Staff will seal up the lifts and post notices, but they will not complete the repairs on the same day.

In the past, housing estates had considered replacing the entire lift, but finally decided to replace only the aging parts.

The reporter later called the management office to find out that the male staff member said that the elevator had a sudden mechanical failure, which was dealt with immediately. The reporter did not have time to follow up the details and hung up the phone.

Xie Jinghua, chairman of the Hong Kong Elevator Industry Federation, pointed out that the above-mentioned outer door of the elevator is a collision door. It is estimated that the length of the outer door lock cable is stretched or broken, causing the outer door to open. At the same time, the two outer doors cannot be closed and are not separated. The safety condition of 5 mm prevented the safety signal from being transmitted to the engine room, and the engine compartment stayed on the same floor.

As the above is an abnormal condition and the exposure of the cavity is dangerous, the lift contractor and the building management office must be notified immediately to close the gap to prevent people from falling into the trough by mistake.
