In most elevators, at least in any built or installed since the early nineties, the door-close button doesn’t work. It is there mainly to make you think it works. … The escape hatch is always locked. By law, it’s bolted shut, from the outside. It’s there so that emergency personnel can get in, not so passengers can get out.

Listen I have escaped from an elevator via the escape hatch. You are full of it.Sure your state may have such a law. But even still all it takes is it to be used once and then never locked again or just someone is lazy. Once again you are full of it
I had a much better idea: have elevator-cars that aren't on cables, but that that move on intermeshing sprockets in front and back. the car move sideways out of the shaft when reach the proper floor, and then the doors open.
That's a judgment for the passenger to make, not some asshole at a safe distance.In 9/11 people were stuck in an elevator and would have been fucked if they hadn't gotten out.
Its bolted shut to keep idiots from climbing out of a suck lift and either falling to their death or getting crushed by the lift if it decides to move. An elevator car is considered a "safe house". Take it from a elevator mechanic, press the emergency phone, relax, and sit tight. Let trained personnel get you out.
Lifts (or elevators as you call them) round here don't have close buttons, but they often have open buttons so that if you are in the lift and you see someone approaching the lift as the doors close you can reopen them.
To my continuing astonishment, the elevator in my building arrives sooner when I press the call-button more than once. Plus, the close-door button inside the elevator actually closes the door. It's miraculous! Thank heaven for 1970's era technology!
