The DSC-214M Stainless Steel Access Door is a universal, flush-access door that installs on any surface and includes a screwdriver cam latch as standard. It is a distinctly superior door for new installations or remodeling.
The exposed flange adds rigidity and fully conceals the rough wall opening. The DSC-214M Access Door now comes standard with removable doors. Flexible and anchor straps are available for installation within the masonry opening. In addition, the DSC-214M access door is available in a primed-coated finish.
Type 304 stainless steel suits exterior weather exposure and interior hygienic locations, such as hospitals, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical plants, research laboratories, and food processing facilities. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and 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.
