An elevator access enclosure comprises a body having enclosure walls defining an interior space to house fire alarm initiating devices. The body includes a beveled edge formed at an acute angle relative to a front portion to bypass structural obstructions positioned within a predetermined distance from an elevator hoistway. A door mounted to the body provides selective access to the interior space and comprises a self-locking mechanism. Apertures formed in the body and door have a predetermined maximum dimension configured to reject passage of objects above a predetermined size. Mounting hardware secures the body adjacent to the elevator hoistway such that fire alarm initiating devices are located within code-compliant distances from a top of the hoistway. A modular system may comprise extension modules with adjustable sections and removable connectors. A safety-enhanced embodiment may include integrated fire suppression components, environmental monitoring sensors, an integrated control unit, and backup power source.
