> many places have a minimum time the doors have to remain open under ADA guidelines.

What's the logic behind requiring this to happen every time? Why not just have a handicap button like doors do, and letting the elevator stay efficient the rest of the time?

How would a handicap person hit that button?

[josephcsible]

The same way they do when they hit the handicap buttons that open doors to buildings.

Elevators should have lower buttons for the handicapped

Complain to the government then.

"Car Control Height. Maximum height for control buttons and mechanisms is 54 inches (1370 mm). Minimum height is 35 inches (890 mm)."
