BA-FRI

BA-FRI Fire Rated Insulated Access Panel 

Access points in walls and ceilings are essential for managing building systems and utilities, but standard panels can create challenges. Panels that aren’t built for fire-rated assemblies may allow heat or flames to spread more quickly, impacting compliance and efficiency. 

The BA-FRI Fire Rated Insulated Access Panel provides a fire-rating capacity of up to 3 hours, offers easy access for maintenance, and helps keep projects on schedule. Its solid construction, integrated insulation, and reliable latching system make the panel practical and convenient.

Why Choose the BA-FRI? 

• Fire-Resistant Construction: The 16-gauge cold-rolled steel frame and 20-gauge galvanneal steel door, combined with mineral wool insulation, slow heat transfer, and help maintain the integrity of fire-rated walls and ceilings. 
• Continuous Piano Hinge: A continuous hinge provides smooth, dependable operation, allowing the panel to open easily when needed. 
• Automatic Panel Closer: All doors include an automatic closer, keeping the panel properly seated after use to maintain fire-delay capabilities. 
• Versatile Lock and Latch Options: Standard self-latching, tool-key operated, or ring-operated slam latches are included. Optional configurations—such as mortise deadbolts, hex head or handle-operated slam latches, or cylinder-ready mortise preparation—allow the panel to suit different project needs. 
• Customizable Materials and Finishes: Panels come with a high-quality white powder coat primer, with a stainless steel brushed finish available for select applications.
