I'm 99% sure this is fake or that it wasn't UPS who delivered the package. I can see virtually the whole box in this image and it's clear that the package is in pretty decent condition and not covered in mystery stains.
-
Even if you can't lift the handle up , the door can probably be shimmed from the inside - especially if the latch plate is improperly sized.

Deadbolt locking mechanism is in the picture. This looks like it was taken from the interior not exterior. Especially with the door being a push to open.
-
that's definitely the physical master at the bottom of a keypad. this is the outside of a door.
-
Looks like a reader or keypad above. Many of the electronic locks look like this, you can put the key in or electronically unlock and turn from the outside. My in-laws have a similar one, if you don't enter the code that part just spins.
-
Yep, I had an extremely similar one on a previous apartment. Looks like you're right to me.
-
This is how mine works. You have the deadbolt lever on both sides, and can spin the exterior one to lock after you scan your key fob. Mine doesn't have a master lock on it though; I got locked out once and they had a special electronics team dedicated to the system show up in like 15 mins and open the door through their computers

Guessing they recreated the pic after they were released from their house arrest

Me: Heh, that's pretty funny Others ITT: *detailed analysis of door handle traps and mechanisms* -
Common sense here checking in: thats now how that works
-
Nobody asking the important question: if you were trapped inside, how did you take this photo? Schrödinger's package.
-
Here's how it went down:
- Ups leaves package as shown in photo.
- Open door, handle stuck
- Call maintenance
- Maintenance removes package, let's you out
- Maintenance explains to you why you couldn't open the door
- Maintenance leaves
- Now, outside your apartment, you put the package into the position as maintenance explained it was
- You take photo and post it on the internet
- You remove the package and enter your apartment
-
-
UPS won't even deliver to my apartment. They will my money though
-
Mine works both ways. I assume this is some sort of Third World Country with poor safety regs and/or corruption.
-
assumption is the mother of all fuck ups

Most levers you can lift up to pull the latch. Especially passage levers like that one.
I think most of these pictures are made up for internet points. This is a pull door. Amazon boxes don't have incredible structural integrity.
It's not about stopping the door from swinging, it's about stopping the handle from turning.
That being said, they could probably have just turned the handle up instead of down.
Of course I know people who would absolutely just try pushing down a couple times, give up, and call maintenance.
To be fair, the lever handles on my apartment door do not lift up and both handles turn at the same time. For whatever reason :/ so there is reasonable chance this post is real.
How old is your building, and does your handle lock? I would look at getting that replaced, regardless of your awnsers.
Not all. The safety doors for roof access at our building only work in one direction, up. I've been told you can set any of them up to only work in one direction. Just like some can not be unlocked and require to key to open every time. Same doorknob different setup. But I agree that picture is from the inside.
The outside of those kind of doors pretty much universally, operate from the outside with a key. There may be some edge cases I'm not thinking about but they wouldn't apply to a living space.
