Press Fit Access Door 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 where added durability and security are required.
• A cylinder locking device provides keyed access from the outside of the door. The night latch also has a small thumb latch that allows the spring latch to remain in a retracted position, which provides 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 is beneficial when tools are not available or desirable for opening and closing the access door.
• The flush-mounted, keyless Paddle Latch has a finger pull that facilitates opening.
• The T-Handle Latch with 90° turn is available with or without a keyed-like cylinder lock.
• Plexiglass vision panel provides durable, long-lasting, and convenient viewing access to wall or ceiling contents.
