This is a picture of the emergency phone compartment in the elevator at my work.

Just a few user experience issues here:

It’s a phone and it’s locked up, why?
Break glass to open door. So is there some sort of triggering mechanism on the lock where it unlocks once the glass is broken?
What kind of special emergency phone is this that has to be locked up?
How do we know there is a phone? You can’t see it behind the glass.

Thank GOD they decided not to lock-up the stop elevator and alarm buttons or somebody would be in a pretty pickle.
