For East Broadway: to clarify, there are 2 active mezzanines. I think you're talking about the locked door (in fact, the entire wall) on the north side of the south/east mezzanine, where people would have been able to descend the ramp and walk directly to the Worth St. line. A door(?) and part of the wall on the south side of the lower level of the north/west mezzanine (which is where the Worth St line would have gone through) is the other end.
That section of the lower and upper mezzanine has been closed for many decades (in nearly 50 years, no one in my family remembers it being open). There is even a closed exit stairway and possibly the provision for an embedded token booth (now tiled over).

Note also that on the F platform, all the stairways (including the abandoned ones) face north, except for the northernmost one, which faces south. If there had been a Worth St line, the stairways would have directed people towards that line's trains.
