Emergency phone: yes

Very similar to the elevators at SEARS in downtown Toronto except with Series 1 fixtures, levels 5, 6 and 7 are no longer used, although the buttons do light up when you press them sometimes, I think they unlock if someone has pressed a call button at any of the 3 locked floors, SEARS tends to fail at elevator security, the one in North Van is also easy to bypass the locks on certain floors. Also like in Toronto, the basement is marked as -1.

I looked at Levels 5, 6, and 7,

and I can't go up to those floors!

How come?

[VancouversLocalNerd]

Those floors are empty or used for storage now, they haven't been part of the store since it was an Eatons.

Because Levels 5, 6, and 7

are locked.

How come I can't access

Levels 5, 6, and 7 in this building?

Floors 5, 6 and 7 say "NO PUBLIC ACCESS".
