What to Know About Rough Opening and Installation Requirements?

Required Rough Opening

The required rough wall opening is the ordered door size plus ¼" (6 mm). The removable panel can be detached while positioning and securing the frame, then reinstalled after the frame is in place.

Installation Notes

  • Set the frame first, then reinstall the removable panel.
  • Size the opening to the door size plus ¼" (6 mm).
  • Confirm that the second ordered dimension is the height, as the hinge is located on that dimension.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flush Removable HVAC Access Doors

How does the removable panel support installation and service?

The panel can be detached from the frame, allowing the frame to be positioned separately and leaving the opening unobstructed during service.

Can it be installed in both walls and ceilings?

Yes. The BA-AHFRLO is designed for both medium to large wall and ceiling openings.

Is this door fire-rated?

No. This is a non-rated access door. For a rated opening, specify a fire-rated access door tested and labeled for that rating.
