DSC-214PL 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.
• Plexiglass vision panel provides durable, long-lasting, and convenient viewing access to wall or ceiling contents.
• 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.
• Removable doors allow for unobstructed access to wall or ceiling contents.
