Elevator Door Won't Open? [RemoveEvents Involved]

After figuring out about my last issue with the doors (FilteringEnabled being on), I've decided to attempt using RemoveEvents as a means to keep FilteringEnabled on and allow it to work. That being said, I've found my attempts at it are failing. Are there any issues I'm not noticing, or being told by ROBLOX Studio?

Server Script

-- Inside Server Script
local Door1 = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Door1")
local Door2 = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Door2")
local bell = script.Parent.Parent.Ceiling:WaitForChild("Bell")
local event = game.Workspace.Elevator1Function
event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(onClicked) -- define the function that will be called when the event is fired
	wait(3)
	for e = 2,25 do
		Door1.CFrame = CFrame.new(Door1.CFrame.x,Door1.CFrame.y,Door1.CFrame.z - 0.15)
		Door2.CFrame = CFrame.new(Door2.CFrame.x,Door2.CFrame.y,Door2.CFrame.z - 0.3)
		bell:play()
		wait(.0001)
	end
	wait(5)
	for e = 2,25 do
		Door1.CFrame = CFrame.new(Door1.CFrame.x,Door1.CFrame.y,Door1.CFrame.z + 0.15)
		Door2.CFrame = CFrame.new(Door2.CFrame.x,Door2.CFrame.y,Door2.CFrame.z + 0.3)
		wait(.0001)
	end -- this is where you put all the code you want to run when the event is fired
end)

Local Script

-- Inside Local Script
local clickDetector = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector")
clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(onClicked)
	game.Workspace.Elevator1Function:FireServer()
end)

LocalScripts only run in certain places
Elephants also really hate mice.

You can't make a LocalScript run in Workspace except for in some very specific circumstances. As a result, you'll need to put the LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts and try to statically access the Instance that clickDetector would otherwise point to.
