• Wall or ceiling opening: Prepare an opening that is 3/8 inch (9 mm) larger than the selected door size to allow for proper installation.
• Installation location: Determine whether the access door will be installed in a wall or ceiling. The 22" × 22" and 24" × 24" models are intended for wall installations only.
• Access opening size: Choose a door size that provides sufficient access to the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or other concealed building components requiring routine service. Custom sizes are available when standard dimensions are not suitable.
• Application requirements: Confirm that a non-rated plastic access door is appropriate for the intended wall or ceiling assembly before specifying the product.
• Maintenance accessibility: Allow adequate clearance for the door to open fully and for the removable panel to be detached when complete access to the concealed area is required.

Proper planning before drywall or ceiling finishes are completed can save time during installation and improve the overall finished appearance. Continue learning with our blogs covering installation best practices, product selection, and project planning tips.

Installation Notes

2. Confirm that the concealed pivot hinge and snap latches operate smoothly after installation.
3. Remove the door panel whenever full; unrestricted access to the opening is required.
