    I've found that it's only american elevator door close buttons that don't work.

    The rest of the world manages to keep them operational.

      On US elevators there is a minimum open duration to accommodate the handicapped or disabled. The door close button can’t force the door closed any faster.

      Then most set the auto-close duration equal to this minimum open duration and you get this appearance of buttons doing nothing.

      As a obsessive door close button presser, I can definitely tell you that there are many elevators in Europe where the button doesnt work either
