For the management office
Cards are issued and cancelled per unit or tenant, floor permissions are changed in the access software, and on supported systems a lost card can be blocked without re-issuing everyone else's.

Lift Access Control System in Kuching, Sarawak
Control approved floor-selection permissions through a supported lift-access interface. HJ coordinates credential and controller design with the lift contractor, checks temporary access and event capabilities, and preserves the separate lift safety and emergency functions.

Lift access for Kuching condominiums, offices and hotels
Lift access control limits which floors a card, tag or face can select, so residents and staff reach only their own levels. It is typically requested by condominium management, office buildings and hotels; HJ's published residential references include lift access at Toorak Park and Fulton Park in Kuching.
With the lift contractor
Readers and controllers connect to the lift's floor-selection circuit through an interface agreed with the lift contractor. Fire and emergency lift functions remain with the lift system and are not overridden.
Visitors and deliveries
Where the platform supports it, visitor cards or QR passes can be limited to one floor and a time window, and guardhouse registration can be linked with a visitor management system.

What It Is
Floor-by-Floor Access Control
Lift access control extends your door access system into the elevator itself. A card reader or facial recognition terminal — in the lift car or at the lobby — connects through a relay controller to the lift's floor-selection circuit, so each person can only select the floors their credential is authorised for. A level-12 resident reaches level 12 and the facilities floor; they can't wander onto other residential levels.
- Card, PIN or facial recognition floor selection
- Visitor temporary floor permissions (QR or temp card)
- One platform with your door access — same card, same software
Who Needs This
- Condominiums and serviced apartments controlling resident floor access
- Multi-tenant office towers separating company floors
- Hotels restricting guest lifts to guest-room floors
How It Works
Reader, Relay, Lift Interface
Credential Reader
A card/PIN reader or face terminal in the lift car or at the lift lobby identifies who is requesting a floor.
Relay Controller
A multi-relay controller sits between the reader and the lift's floor buttons — only authorised floors are enabled for that person's trip.
Lift Interface Coordination
Connection into the lift's floor-selection circuit is coordinated with your lift maintenance contractor — we handle this as part of the project, not leave it to you.
Platforms
Integrated With Your Door Access System
We install lift access on the same platforms as our door access systems — Hikvision, EntryPass and MicroEngine — so one card or face profile covers building entry, office doors and lift floors, all managed from a single software. Visitor floor permissions can also tie into a visitor management system for QR-based temporary access.
Common Configurations
- Resident groups: approved home and facilities floor permissions
- Supported staff credential: approved floors and schedules
- Supported visitor credential: approved floors and expiry
- Lift emergency and recall functions remain with the responsible lift contractor
Installed here
Lift access as part of the building stack at Fulton Park, Podium and SK Hardware / Sri Minyak.
Lift-access product reference
Face, fingerprint and card-reader families for lift and floor permissions are listed in the separate access and biometric catalogue. HJ Security designs the permissions, interfaces the controller and commissions the complete lift-access workflow.
FAQ
Lift Access Control Questions
How does lift access control actually work?
A supported access controller applies approved floor permissions through the interface agreed with the lift contractor. The mapping may use relays or another supported lift interface. Verify allowed and denied floor selections, visitor expiry and exceptions; an authorisation event does not automatically prove every passenger journey.
Can lift access work with our existing door access cards?
Existing cards or enrolled credentials can be assessed only after reader technology, credential format, software and both door/lift interfaces are confirmed. Shared brand or platform naming does not guarantee compatibility. Test the proposed combined permissions on the installed systems.
Does installing lift access require the lift manufacturer's involvement?
The lift contractor and responsible parties must approve the interface, access-layer scope and test arrangements. HJ coordinates the credential/floor-permission layer only; lift motion, emergency recall and safety remain separate responsibilities and are not modified through this access scope.
Can visitors be given temporary floor access?
A supported visitor workflow can apply approved floors and expiry to compatible credentials. Confirm the reception/host process, software and lift interface, then test valid, expired and denied cases and the authorised exception route. Temporary access is not assumed for every controller.
Can lift access be added to an existing lift?
Often, if the lift controller offers a suitable interface. HJ surveys the lift car, controller room and cable route, then confirms the connection method with the lift contractor before quoting.
Who manages the lift cards after installation?
The building management or your own administrator. HJ sets up the software, user groups and floor permissions, then trains the administrator at handover so cards can be issued and cancelled without a service call.
