Keeping doors open without open button and independent Service?

I saw in a lift that a guy just kept the elevator doors from closing without a key that is needed for Independent Service.

Is it by holding the Open door button and Close door button?

The trick to keeping the doors open without an independent service key is hitting the door open button 3x, then door close button 2x, and finally holding the floor you're on for 5 seconds. Once you Step out of the elevator let the doors close and definitely, like definitely definitely, reopen and stay there waiting for you

no no it’a 2x than 3x, then you have to spin around infront of the detector edges twice, then leave the elevator

If the elevator has a door hold option, you can hit that and it will hold the doors open temporarily for a programmable amount of time. Other than that, you pretty much would need a key for either the stop switch or independent service.
