Won't work in many towers here - they have door handles to let you in to
the fire stairs but no handles on the stair side except at ground level.
My
key tab will only let me take the lift to the floor where I live. When I
press the button to let a visitor in, it allows lift access to my floor
for
two minutes.

So there's no way that a resident on floor 8 can go and visit a friend on
floor 7 then?
