A key to the elevator can also be found hanging near one of the guards on the way to the top of the fort. If you choose not to climb the fort with the help of the chain hanging in the middle of the stairway then you can posses a rat and sneak up on the guard (I think on the middle floor) and after you elliminate him, there's the key to the elevator hanging right there, on a pillar.

Hope this helps. (Although there's also the option of getting inside the elevator by the top hatch as stated by the previous comment)
