If the lift stops between floors, press the alarm button and use the intercom to contact Otis 24/7 support at 1800-22-7777. Do not attempt to force the doors open.
For unusual noises or vibrations, note the time and floor, then call Otis Customer Care at 1800-22-7777 or email CustomerCare.India@Otis.com to schedule a technician inspection.

Tips for a stronger escalation
Always document every interaction: note the date, time, representative's name, and reference number.
Keep copies of all contracts, service reports, and correspondence related to your complaint.
Be clear and specific about the resolution you expect, and set a reasonable deadline.
If the issue is not resolved at the first level, escalate in writing rather than starting over by phone.
Check if your complaint is covered under warranty or an annual maintenance contract (AMC) before escalating.
For safety-related emergencies, always use the 24/7 emergency helpline first.
Stop chasing emails
Log the complaint once in the Simply C2 app and keep every escalation step, date and reply in one place.
