What do the elevator close buttons mean?
The reason behind the neutering of the 'close door' button in elevators is actually pretty cool. In the US, when the Americans With Disabilities Act was passed in 1990, it meant that elevators had to ensure that someone with a disability had time to get inside.
What button opens the elevator?
Rule #1: The two buttons available to call an elevator have an up arrow and a down arrow. These are meant to indicate whether you want to go up or down, not whether the elevator must come up or down. For example, if you're on Floor 3 and you want to go to Floor 7, you need to press the Up arrow button.
Why do elevators have two close buttons?
Up/Down button : If you wanted to go upstairs you need to press UP button and if you wanted to go downstairs you need to Press DOWN button. Let's assume that you are in 2nd floor, you wanted to go downstairs and the lift is in ground floor and the person in the lift wants to go to 5th floor.
