Easy access to:

• Ceiling spaces and bulk heads.
• Roof spaces: Insulation, framing, inspection of underlay and roofing. Vermin control.

Installation Guide

• Measure across the inner flanges for the access panel.
• Cut a hole in the plaster board to match measured panel size adding 2.5mm each side to allow for clearance (e.g. 605 x 605mm for the 600mm panel).
• For 600 x 600 mm access panel, frame out the cut opening on the hidden (non visible) side of the plasterboard. Check access panel fit before fixing off the opening framing.
• Bend the steel tie tags, located around the inside of the frame to the vertical position and slot the hatch (without door for easy installation) into the framed opening.
• Secure the steel tie tags to the stud or support framing OR fold them over to secure to the plaster board.
• Fix screws through the access panel frame and tags to the timber supporting framing until the access panel is flush and securely fixed.
• Insert the door and secure with screws provided.
• Plaster in the beaded trims surrounding the access panel.
• Paint the access panel and plastered areas to match.
