Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compare stainless steel products?

Compare the material and finish fields, dimensions, hardware, and available documents for each returned product. Confirm the exact grade and finish in the product documentation.

What size access door do I need?

Choose an opening size that provides the access required for the service or equipment, then compare the exact product dimensions and rough-opening guidance in its documentation. Confirm the project opening and access clearance before ordering.

What is the difference between a fire-rated and non-rated access door?

A fire-rated product is identified in its catalog documentation for a rated application; a non-rated product should not be assumed to satisfy that requirement. Confirm the complete assembly, documentation, and project requirements with the architect or authority having jurisdiction.

How should I research alternatives to Acudor or Karp products?

Use the catalog cross-reference fields as a starting point for product research only. Compare the stored public attributes and then verify dimensions, applications, documentation, and project approval; a cross-reference is not an equivalency or approved-substitution claim.
