BA-HFRT-1 Hinged Recessed Floor Hatch for 1" Ceramic Tile

Installing floor access hatches in tiled spaces is a contractor's nightmare. Standard hatches don't accommodate tile thickness properly, forcing installers to improvise solutions or leave gaps that look unprofessional.

The result? Callbacks, unhappy clients, and floor hatches that either protrude awkwardly or fail to support the weight they're supposed to handle. There has to be a better way.

The BA-HFRT-1 Hinged Recessed Floor Hatch for 1" Ceramic Tile solves this problem. This aluminum floor hatch features a 1-inch recess designed specifically for ceramic tile or concrete flooring, allowing it to blend into your finished surface.

This hatch has reinforced construction with a live load rating of 300 lb/sq. ft., handling everyday traffic while providing easy access to plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems below.

The automatic hold-open arm makes operation safe and convenient, while the stainless steel components ensure lasting performance in interior and exterior applications.

Why Should You Use the BA-HFRT-1?

• Seamless Integration With Tile Flooring: The 1-inch recessed door panel creates a perfect pocket for ceramic tile or concrete, allowing your floor hatch to blend completely with surrounding flooring. You won't see unsightly metal panels ruining your design.
• Enhanced Durability for Heavy Traffic: Constructed from 1/4" reinforced aluminum plate with welded extruded edging, this hatch supports 300 pounds per square foot. Walk on or roll equipment over it—it meets the demands of commercial and residential spaces.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Made from aluminum with stainless steel hinges and hardware, the BA-HFRT-1 resists rust and weathering. It maintains its structural integrity and smooth operation over time, whether installed indoors or outdoors.
• Safe and Convenient Operation: The automatic hold-open arm with red vinyl grip locks the door at 90 degrees, preventing accidental closure while you're working below. Stainless steel compression springs provide lift assistance, making the hatch easy to open even when tiled. Meanwhile, the flush aluminum drop handle keeps the surface smooth when closed.
• Flexible Security Options: The stainless steel slam lock features a fixed inside handle for easy exit and a removable outside handle for security. The removable threaded plug allows for complete concealment when desired, while optional electrical actuators provide remote operation via wall switch or remote control.
