Access Door Options
The “basic” assembly consists of: a cast ductile iron door, a cast ductile iron door frame, a rope style door gasket, cast iron quick clamps, mounting hardware and sealing mastic. The words “DANGER OPEN WITH CAUTION” are part of the cast pattern and located in two places on each door.
Size selection is largely subjective, and can depend on the panel size on which it is mounted, size of material to be passed through the door and customer preference.
