Are these behaviors normal for a 24 month old?

Pressing buttons repeatedly sounds like OCD. That combined with language delays and lack of pointing makes me think this is PANS/PANDAS brain inflammation. Any chance there is hidden toxic mold in the home? I would find a strong integrative holistic doc who can run appropriate tests like autoimmune, OAT, and inflammatory markers. Consider a gluten-free/dairy-free diet since those foods are inflammatory. Consider anti-inflammatory supplements like fish oil

Between 18m and 2 years my daughters favorite thing was turning the lock in our front door (we had one of those double locks with a keyhole on both the inside and outside lock. She would stand on a stool and turn the lock for a half hour at a time multiple times a day. Kids are weird. Definitely seek evaluation if you feel something is off but sometimes it's just kid weirdness.

I used to say that toddlers/very young kids just need a museum full of buttons, levers, etc because that’s all they want to do at the museums like Natural History.

I agree with others that in and of itself that’s not a red flag. But you are concerned about multiple things and best to get seek a second opinion if for no other reason than peace of mind.

If someone made a toddler play area that was nothing but walls and floors covered in buttons and levers and doors they would make a killing honestly. A busy board *room*.
