Door close button on a Lift?

The "door close" button in a lift usually works only when the Lift is in service or emergency mode.

Not all Lift buttons are created equal. In many Lifts, a door close button might signal the door to close but will work only in specific circumstances, such as when operated by fire-fighters, or security officers in "emergency mode" or when the Lift is undergoing maintenance. At all other times, the door close button might serve as a "**Placebo Button,"** Giving passengers a way to express their impatience, while waiting for the door to close.
