These kind of buttons aren't commonplace in many areas of that planet. But they are very common in elevators for the door closing. In other areas I also have never seen one, but in many elevators of Berlin the button for closing the door isn't even connected to the electricity.
- chrisBob 12y agoThe elevator door close buttons may not do anything most of the time, but they aren't there just for decoration. Their primary purpose is for emergency personnel who have turned the key to the emergency or firefighter setting. When in that mode the doors only open when you push open and only close when you push close. I would be very surprised if you could confirm that you have been on an elevator where these buttons weren't wired up.
- erikb 12y agoInteresting information. I'll look into that when I'm in an elevator the next time. With our office elevator for example I don't remember that you have "superuser" control from the inside at all. I always thought it's only possible from the security office next door or if you are on top of the elevator.
