Elevator/Escalator Fire Service Keys (After 2007)

The FEO-K1 key, also known as the FEOK1 elevator fire service tubular (barrel) key, is an universal emergency fire service key for elevators installed since the ASME 2007 code, except in some states. This key is rotated clockwise at a 90-degree angle, unlike the counterclockwise rotation key used prior to 2008. An addendum released in 2008 clarified that the FEO-K1 key should be cut clockwise.

Each FEO-K1 key is thoroughly tested by professional engineers to ensure its usability and reliability. This key is designed to be used in the fire service/recall operation of elevator key switches, providing emergency access and control during fire or other emergencies.

The clockwise rotation of the FEO-K1 key, with a 90-degree angle, is a crucial feature that distinguishes it from the previous counterclockwise rotation key used before 2008. This change was made to improve the functionality and safety of the elevator's fire service operation, ensuring that the key can be effectively utilized during emergency situations.

The FEO-K1 key is a standardized and universal tool for elevator fire service, allowing emergency personnel to access and control the elevator system in a consistent and reliable manner. This key is an essential component in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of elevator operations during fire or other emergencies, particularly in buildings where the ASME 2007 code has been implemented.

The rigorous testing conducted by professional engineers on each FEO-K1 key helps to guarantee its usability and reliability. This testing process ensures that the key meets the necessary performance standards and can be effectively used in emergency situations, providing a crucial safeguard for building occupants and emergency responders.

In summary, the FEO-K1 key, or FEOK1 elevator fire service tubular (barrel) key, is a standardized and universally recognized tool for elevator fire service operations. Its clockwise rotation at a 90-degree angle, as clarified in the 2008 addendum, distinguishes it from the previous counterclockwise rotation key and enhances its functionality and safety during emergency situations. Each FEO-K1 key is thoroughly tested by professional engineers to ensure its usability and reliability, making it an essential component in the overall safety and effectiveness of elevator operations in buildings that have implemented the ASME 2007 code.
