We're Moving On Up! (Or Not)

Ah, elevators. Perhaps the greatest symbol of humanity's conquest over gravity. Our heroes enter it, and with it, they can travel to any floor of the office building/dungeon/cave/whatever that they happen to find themselves in. But what's this? Oh no! Something's missing! Perhaps it's a button, perhaps a key, but without it, the elevator cannot function normally, giving our heroes only limited access to the office building/dungeon/cave/whatever until they can find the needed MacGuffin.
The trope's name is in reference to the theme song of the popular sitcom The Jeffersons.
