Access Doors such as BA-FRU Fire-Rated Insulated Panel Opening by Best Access Doors offer a convenient, space saving solution for walls and ceilings. The innovative BAC-FRU access door features a strategically placed continuous piano hinge, which grants a greater extension than standard hinges.

This highly durable, U.L. Listed, cold-rolled steel access door complies with NFPA 80 requirements with a self-latching mechanism for complete peace of mind.

Standard models arrive with a high-quality white powder coat primer that will blend in with drywall. However, if necessary, you can texture, wallpaper, or paint the panel door to suit your decor.
