Question about elevators

Does the "close door" button ever work? I push it almost all the time no matter what elevator I'm in, but the doors never seem to close any faster than usual. I don't understand why there's a button there if it doesn't do anything.

Maybe it's only for emergencies or something? And there's some kind of sensor that lets it only work outside of normal operations? I have no idea.

Otherwise I'm going to keep thinking of it as the appendix of elevator systems.

  1. what do you expect? A guillotine like efficiency to make any late passenger think twice about sticking an appendage in?
