The elevator in a building I lived in had a feature, presumably for emergency responders, where holding the door close and a floor number simultaneously for a few seconds would take you directly to that floor. I believe that method has been replaced with a standardized keyed override. The trick did come in handy once when a bratty kid pushed all the buttons as a prank.
I'm not sure where I learned it, but I've found that in many older elevators in the US, pressing door close simultaneously with the floor number will also get the doors to close immediately.
