Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Fire Rated Access Panel? Check your building plans for the required "Fire Rating" (usually expressed in hours, e.g., FR60 or FR120). Next, measure your structural opening (the hole in the wall/ceiling) and decide if you need a "Beaded Frame" (for plastering over) or a "Picture Frame" (for retrofitting).

What maintenance do these panels require? Very little. We recommend occasional checks to ensure the seals are intact and the locking mechanism operates smoothly, ensuring the panel remains airtight and secure in the event of a fire.
