A Small Push Switch (also referred to as Button) is a common trigger throughout the Tomb Raider Games, which is usually attached to a wall. As with all triggers, activating it will trigger a certain event. This special case of a trigger is often used for nearby doors.
Occurrence
Tomb Raider II
The first time this smaller version of the Big Push Button is used is in Tomb Raider II. Here is occurs in Lara's Home where is serves to open doors. This button is also found in Venice where the one inside the Boathouse operates the doors of the building across the canal. Inside this building is a set of buttons that operate Trapdoors that act like a double door system.
Tomb Raider III
The small push switch makes its return in Tomb Raider III. Here you will encounter the same buttons as in Tomb Raider II, as well as stylised buttons and covered buttons.
The first button encountered is in Lara's Home. It is the same button we know from the manor level in Tomb Raider II.
In the Thames Wharf level of the London Section these switches are outfitted with a cover that has to be lifted up first, although in some cases the Cover Bug applies. There are more of these buttons in the Thames Wharf, in Aldwych and in the City.
The buttons the South Pacific Section are of another design but have the same function.
There are more buttons in the levels High Security Compound, Area 51, Antarctica, RX-Tech Mines, Meteorite Cavern and the bonus level All Hallows.
