The Karp Access Door DSB-214SM is a surface-mounted universal flush access door that does not require framing, bracing, or notching and cutting of inner wall obstructions. The frame’s single-piece construction prevents the unit from racking and allows the access door to sit perfectly within the frame and open to 175 degrees. Karp’s DSB-214SM is a perfect access door for a house crawl space.

DSB-214SM Access Door Options

• Type 304 stainless steel is well-suited for exterior weather or interior hygienic locations—for example, hospitals, health care, pharmaceutical plants, research laboratories, and food processing facilities. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, durable, and requires very little maintenance. Karp’s stainless steel access doors have a No. 4 satin finish, a general-purpose bright finish with a visible ‘grain” that prevents mirror reflection.
• Aluminum is ideal for any installation or environment that requires a strong, lightweight, and rust-resistant access door.
• Plexiglass vision panel provides durable, long-lasting, and convenient viewing access to wall or ceiling contents.
• Louvers may be integrated into the door design to satisfy architectural and ventilation requirements.
• Removeable doors allow for unobstructed access to wall or ceiling contents.

DSB-214SM Access Door Locking and Latching Options

• The spanner head is an economical tamper-proof latching solution.
• The Allen Head Security Latch is an economical, tamper-resistant latching mechanism that discourages theft, vandalism, and unauthorized entry because it cannot be opened without an Allen wrench.
• The Knob Turn is finger operated and is beneficial when tools are not available or desirable for opening and closing the access door.
• A flush, mounted, keyless Paddle Latch has a finger pull that facilitates opening.
• The T-Handle Latch with 90° turn is available with or without a keyed-alike cylinder lock.
