Q:I note this item appears to have a swing opening to the left. Do you make both left and right swing doors on the panel? It would work best if the door swung open the other way for my situation.

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: There is no specific handing to install the door. If you prefer the door to swing right, there would be no issue with installing it to do so.

Solid metal access door if you can frame in the opening. This door is well made of metal which is preferable vs plastic, but it does make it heavier. You really can't mount this into drywall. You need 2x4s or some other kind of framing behind the drywall to support/secure the door. I was applying a large section of new drywall so it was no issue for me. I installed 2x4 supports left and right. The rough opening needs to be 16.5"x16.5" and then the door opening is 16x16. One problem I encountered with this door is that the flange is not very deep. With new/modern sheet rock which is thin it's no issue, but I installed in another location over some older thicker sheet rock and the mounting holes barely covered the wood supports. I had to buy a set of 2" metal ties to extend the mounting depth. In the end the door worked but not as smoothly as I had hoped. Also the door is on a hing that allows the door to slide down, this mean you have to lift the door to close it. Not a big deal for an occasional use door but not idea for an access hatch you plan to use regularly.

Access door is fine but be advised it's 16-3/8" x 16-3/8" and is NOT designed to fit between 16" OC studs w/o modification of the studs.

I love this access panel! I needed access to my water meter so chose the 16x16 out of the many size options available. It is well built and I was pleasantly surprised that the mounting screws were hidden inside the door frame as opposed to on the outside corners as shown on the Home Depot website. I will be buying another for a different location and highly recommend to anyone who needs a durable access panel and ability to frame out an opening for it. This is NOT a snap in type door.
