Hacking An Elevator

Jody posted this at 10:14 pm under office

Ever wonder how to hack an elevator to own it for your trip and not be stopped on any other floors?

While some elevators require a key, others can be put into “Express” mode by pressing the “Door Close” and “Floor” buttons at the same time. This sweeps the car to the floor of your choice and avoids stops at any other floor.

I’ll try this tomorrow in my office building.

    It’s not going to work. Just like the traffic light hack doesn’t work (I tried it several times).

    Wow, Thanks, I cannot believe it but this works, I tried it this morning in my 10 story office building!
