14" x 14" BA-PFI Fire-Rated Insulated Access Door With Exposed Flange
When inspectors show up to check on fire-rated walls and ceilings, the last thing you want is an access door that doesn't meet building codes.
Too many property owners and contractors have learned this the hard way. They spend thousands on reinstallation or face project delays because their access solutions couldn't handle the heat requirements or failed temperature rise tests.

This best-seller provides up to 3 hours of fire rating for rated walls and ceilings, backed by 2-inch-thick mineral wool insulation. It meets UL, NFPA, and CAN/ULC standards, so you can install it confidently on any project.

Why Should You Use the 14" x 14" BA-PFI?
- Meets Fire Rating Standards: This access door is certified to UL 10B, NFPA 252, and CAN/ULC standards with a 3-hour fire rating for walls and 1-3 hours for ceilings. The temperature rise stays within strict limits, giving you the peace of mind that comes with proper code compliance.
- Keeps Building Energy Efficient: The 2-inch-thick fire-rated mineral wool insulation does double duty. It meets fire codes while cutting energy costs and reducing noise transmission for quieter, more comfortable spaces.
- Handles Heavy Use: Constructed with a 20-gauge galvanneal steel door and a 16-gauge cold rolled steel frame, the BA-PFI can handle regular use. The continuous piano hinge distributes weight evenly, preventing the warping and alignment issues you get with cheaper access doors.
- Includes Dual Security System: Every door has a self-latching tool-operated slam latch and a ring-operated slam latch. This gives maintenance teams flexibility in accessing systems while ensuring the door stays securely closed when necessary.
- Ships Ready for Installation: The high-quality white powder coat primer finish resists corrosion and provides an excellent base for additional paint to match the building's interior design.
