Randy, It sounds like you're good to go. If it were an elevator control or machine room, there would be evidence of the elevator service technician visiting during the annual inspections. Carry on!

Only time anyone has been there is when we installed it. Therefore it has been a long time since I have been there, as the need hasn't happened. Since a trip that requires such work to get too we have avoided going less absolutely needed too. So guess I can't say it is or isn't in the elevator area and guess there has been no complaints maybe it is Ok. In any case I am not sure this problem will even evoke a trip as it is only in the extreme cold and it is only one site of three available, albeit it is as good one.
