Meeting strict regulations while ensuring smooth installation and long-term reliability isn’t always straightforward in commercial construction. Many access doors create complications through difficult installation, poor insulation, or an uneven fit with drywall surfaces.

Built for durability and a seamless finish, it provides a dependable solution without adding unnecessary complexity to the project.

Why Should You Use the 18" x 18" BA-PFI-GYP?

Suitable for walls and ceilings, it ensures compliance while keeping installation straightforward.
• Premium Build – Crafted from 20-gauge galvanneal steel, the door offers durability, while the 16-gauge cold rolled steel frame reinforces stability. A 2½" depth frame strengthens the structure, and the 1 ?" drywall bead flange blends seamlessly once finished with the drywall compound.
