Elevator Hack

A tip from the "Real Tech News" blog has me eager to ride an elevator to test this out.

When you're in the elevator, push the "Close Doors" AND the "[Floor]" buttons at the same time to enter "Express Mode", which will skip all the other floors and go right where you want. A pretty selfish thing to do unless you have a semi-emergency that requires you to commandeer the elevator, but good to know nonetheless.

Thanks for the tip Alice! (realtechnews.com)
"Elevators that have been tested and worked on:
Otis Elevators (All But The Ones Made In 1992),
Dover (Model Numbers: EL546 And ELOD862),
–And Most Desert Elevators(All, But Model Numbers ELD5433 And ELF3655)"
If anyone is able to try this out, please let us know how it goes in the comments.

Now you know,
Garrett Woodroof

I can do that in our building by just pressing and holding the floor button. Make sure one else is in there when you use it or everyone will do it.

I actually use to do this all the time when I lived on campus.
