Elevator Access Control Systems in the Philippines — FAQ
Elevator access control restricts which floors a passenger can reach by requiring a valid card, fob, or biometric credential before the lift will register a floor selection. Infinite Systems designs and installs elevator access control (also called lift access control or floor restriction) for office towers, condominiums, and mixed-use developments across Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao, integrating with the same credentials used for door access and time attendance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Elevator Access Control Systems
Answers to the most common questions about our elevator access control systems in the Philippines. Have a question not covered here? Our team is happy to help.
What is elevator access control and how does it work?
Elevator access control installs a card or biometric reader inside the lift car (or at the lobby call station) that authenticates a passenger before floor buttons are enabled, so a credential holder can only select floors they are authorized to visit — commonly used to restrict tenant or resident access to their own floor.
Is elevator access control compatible with our existing elevator brand?
In most cases, yes. Our systems integrate with common elevator controller interfaces through relay or serial (RS-485) connections; we conduct a site assessment to confirm compatibility with your elevator manufacturer before proposing a solution.
Can the same access card be used for doors, elevators, and time attendance?
Yes, this is one of the main benefits — a single card, fob, or biometric credential can be programmed to control building entry, restrict elevator floor access, and log time attendance, reducing the number of credentials tenants or employees need to carry.
How many floors and cars can be controlled?
Elevator access control systems scale from a single car serving a few floors to multi-car, multi-tower deployments serving 50+ floors, with centralized software managing floor permissions per credential across the entire building.
Does elevator access control slow down normal building traffic?
No, credential authentication takes less than a second, and systems can be configured with free-access floors (such as lobbies or common areas) that don't require a card, minimizing impact on everyday elevator traffic.
What support do you provide after installation?
We provide commissioning, software training for building administrators, and ongoing Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) covering reader and controller inspection, firmware updates, and credential database management, with support available 6 days a week.
