18x18 Flush Access Door

The Tough Guy 2VE85 is a steel access door designed for flush mounting in walls or ceilings. It provides a 18 by 18 inch clear opening secured by a screwdriver operated cam latch. The frame requires a rough opening of 18 1/4 by 18 1/4 inches and mounts using eight quarter inch holes. A powder coated finish protects the surface.

Installers needing uninsulated flush panels

This door suits projects where an uninsulated steel panel meets code and aesthetic requirements. The hidden pin hinge allows the door to sit flat against the surface for a clean look. Buyers who need a fire rated assembly or an insulated panel for thermal boundaries should look at a different product. It is not intended for applications requiring a keyed lock or tool free entry.

Screwdriver operated cam latch closure

The single specification that decides fit is the closure type. A screwdriver operated cam latch requires a tool to open and close the panel each time. If the maintenance schedule demands frequent hand access or a keyed security protocol, this latch style will not meet the requirement. Every other dimension follows the standard 18 inch frame size.
