There are two cases for successfully entering the closet. You can either time it right:
>SE
You make it across the room, but just barely; just as you duck through the door,
a huge hammer crashes down behind, missing by an inch. Something you stepped on
along the way clicked as well, and with a horrible screeching noise, the
machinery speeds up, crashing faster and faster until it's twice as fast as
before.
Control Room
This is the control room for all the machinery nearby. The controls are all
magical, of course. The walls are covered by blinking lights and shifting
displays, interspersed with arcane dials and glowing buttons. It's all very
mysterious looking. The exit, to the northwest, leads into a room with machinery
which would surely crush you if you were to attempt to enter it.
A scroll of old, brittle parchment is here.
"Crash!" A huge hammer smashes against the stone floor outside.
Or you can use the EXEX spell to speed yourself up:
>EXEX ME
You feel energetic and zippy.
>SE
You zip across the room easily, but you must have touched something dangerous
along the way, because the machinery speeds up, going faster and faster.

I think there should be a blank line before the room description in the second case, just like there is in the first.
