Recap:
Two men are trying to deliver an object to a specific person in a specific apartment (flat) in this building. They have the correct address, including the apartment number. The object requires two men to carry it, and as a part of their job, they must enter the apartment they are delivering it to. For some (as yet unknown) reason they knock on every second door in the building, although they do not reach all of the doors in the building before they turn back and start over. There is nothing about the men or the object that prevents them from knocking on the correct door, yet there is a reason why they have not, and the nature of the object is relevant. The men are able to knock on the correct door, and yet do not. The know why they have not knocked on the door. The doors they knock on are the same size, shape, and elevation as the doors they do not knock on. The men physically pass by the doors they do not knock on, which does not includes the correct door. There is something different about this apartment building that is relevant to the puzzle. The elevator "sort of" plays a role in this puzzle.
(Correct so far?) YES

To confirm - do the men pass by the door to the flat they intend to deliver to? NO

Are the men unable to get to the correct door (but woiuld be able to knock on it if they did)? CLARIFY (sorry - but I don't want to give a misleading yes or no)

When the men are knocking on every other door, are they knocking on all the
doors on one side of the building (that is, the inside or outside)? All the doors they knock on are inside the building, if that is what you mean to ask

Are all the doors they are knocking on consecutive? NO
Are all the doors they are NOT knocking on consecutive? NO

Does the object they are carrying physically prevent them from knocking on
the other doors? NO

Are the men knocking on all the doors intentionally (as opposed to
knocking on doors by accident because of their encumbered state)? YES

Are the men prevented (intentionally or not) from getting to the correct door?

Do the men knock on at least one door that is on the same level as the door to the flat they are attempting to deliver their package to?

The men are unable to get onto the elevator with the object they are delivering, and they do not reach the floor with the flat to which the package is addressed. Correct?

Do they only knock on doors on the first level?
Are the also unable to use the stairs while delivering their package?
Is the object too long to fit into the elevator?
Is the object a ladder?
When one of the men knocks on a door, is the other man standing in front of a different door (at the other end of the package they're delivering)?
