@dwhisper @pluralistic Not true at all. Yes, depending on where you live, local regulations may require that elevator doors have to stay open (held) for a minimum period of time after opening, though after that minimum door open time has been elapsed, the door close button should work fine as normal. I've never personally encountered a scenario where the door close button is intentionally not wired up to anything inside the elevator (and if it was, I'm sure it would fail an inspection).
