The KDW Access Door is a universal, flush-access door with a textured frame and bead, allowing drywall joint compound to be applied in sufficient thickness to conceal the flange. Pre-punched holes in the flange facilitate fastening the flange to framing members with drywall screws.

• Hinge: Pin-type hinge, spring-loaded, making the door removable

KDW Access Door Options

• Type 304 stainless steel is well-suited for exterior weather exposure or interior hygienic environments, such as 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.
• Masonry straps secure Karp’s doors in masonry applications.
• Karp can manufacture double-leaf access doors to facilitate access and reduce door load.
• 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.

KDW Access Door Locking Options

• Combined with any lock manufacturer’s 1-18″ mortise cylinder lock, Karp’s mortise preparation provides the highest level of security. It is ideally suited for asylums, detention centers, or any environment requiring added durability and security.
• A cylinder locking device provides keyed access from the outside of the door. The night latch also features a small thumb latch that keeps the spring latch retracted, allowing access at any time.
• The Spanner Head is an economical tamper-proof latching option.
• The Allen Head Security Latch is an economical, tamper-resistant latching mechanism that discourages theft, vandalism, and unauthorized entry because it cannot be opened without an Allen wrench.
• The Knob-Turn Latch is finger-operated and useful when tools are unavailable or undesirable for opening and closing the access door.
• A flush-mounted, keyless Paddle Latch features a finger pull for opening.
• The T-Handle Latch with 90° turn is available with or without a keyed-like cylinder lock.
• Combined with any lock manufacturer’s detention lock, Karp’s Detention Lock preparation provides maximum security. It is ideally suited for asylums, detention centers, or any environment requiring added durability and security.
