The DSC-214M is a universal, flush-access door that can be installed on any surface and includes a screwdriver cam latch as standard. It is a distinctly superior door for new installations or remodeling.

The exposed flange adds rigidity to the unit and perfectly conceals the rough wall opening. The DSC-214M now comes standard with removable doors. Flexible and anchor straps are available for installation within the masonry opening. It is also available in a stainless steel finish.

DSC-214M Access Door Options

• Type 304 stainless steel is well-suited for exterior weather exposure or interior hygienic environments, including hospitals, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical plants, research laboratories, and food processing facilities. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and durable, requiring very little maintenance. Karp’s stainless steel access doors have a No. 4 satin finish, a general-purpose bright finish with a visible ‘grain” that prevents mirror reflection.
• Aluminum is ideal for any installations or environments that require a strong, lightweight, and rust-resistant access door.
• Louvers can be integrated into the door design to satisfy architectural and ventilation requirements.
• Safety chains are ideally suited for large access door ceiling installations. Safety Chains provide additional assurance by securing the door when it is unattended.
• Masonry straps secure Karp’s doors in masonry applications.
• A 1/16″ x 3/8″ neoprene gasket can be added to the door, providing a tighter seal between the door and the door frame and protecting it from exposure to the elements.
