This snap-in access door is just simply better than the commercially available screw-in versions. The door is removable and can be installed in any orientation. Not only does that mean you can change the orientation after it is installed, but you can easily remove the door when working through the opening. This model includes a collar to cover the edges of the cut wall for a cleaner installation and appearance. A back-side collar locks the front onto the wall without screws (but it can be screwed in as well if you choose). The two halves sandwich the wall with a ratchet-style click mechanism every 1/8” (3.2mm) to accommodate all common wall boards from 3/8” to 3/4”. A spring system on the Back Collar allows for a firm grip and adjusts for variations in wall thickness due to paint, paper, plaster, etcetera. Screws can also be used if desired.
The Snap-In Acces Door has a “lockable” latch to prevent accidental opening. And, the entire assembly snaps together without tools. Not to mention, you can print it at home!
This version provides an access opening of approximately 150mm x 150mm (6” x 6”) square. Cut a (155mm) 6-1/8” square opening in your wall.
