Fire-Rated Access Doors

Fire-rated wall, ceiling, and floor assemblies are only as strong as their weakest point. When an opening is not specified correctly, access doors and hatches are a common cause of inspection failures, and they can compromise the fire-resistance rating of the entire assembly.

That puts your project at risk of costly rework, delays, and potential code violations. Fire-rated access doors provide a code-compliant solution that preserves the integrity of fire-rated assemblies while still allowing reliable access for maintenance and inspections. With durable construction and versatile applications across walls and ceilings, they provide a dependable, long-term maintenance solution throughout the life of the building.

Fire-rated access doors do not stop fires from starting; they help slow down the spread of a fire for a limited period.

Choose the Right Fire-Rated Door

As a fundamental requirement, every fire-rated access door must match the fire-resistance rating of the surrounding substrate. Other factors also come into play when selecting the right access panel, including location, installation, and finish integration. This quick guide will help you select the right fire-rated access door for your project.
