Shouldn't have been possible. I would like a story with some more, that is to say some, details.

Safety systems should not allow the doors to open unless the lift is aligned with that floor.

I think it is possible to force a door without the car being there. It involves prying, though, banging wouldn't do it unless there was some problem. This story is so short on details, though, I can't tell if the guy was prying the doors, or just running his chair into them, or what.
