New LiftMaster Launch: CAP4AP & CAPXAP Set to Transform Access Control for Modern Properties

As the demand for smarter, scalable, and secure access control systems continues to rise, LiftMaster is answering the call with the launch of two innovative solutions — CAP4AP and CAPXAP. Engineered for today’s commercial and multifamily environments, these cloud-connected controllers simplify installation, expand access capabilities, and future-proof your property’s security infrastructure.

Why This Launch Matters for Installers and Property Managers

Outdated access systems often create more problems than they solve — from complex wiring to limited scalability and lack of remote diagnostics. LiftMaster’s next-gen Smart Access Controllers are purpose-built to resolve these pain points by:

• Reducing install time and labor costs
• Supporting modular expansion and flexible configurations
• Delivering intelligent, cloud-based remote management
• Integrating seamlessly with the myQ® Community platform

These systems are designed to streamline operations, improve reliability, and offer property-wide control — from gates and amenities to elevators and doors.
