12" x 12" Aluminum Drywall Panel - Karp

12" x 12" KAD Aluminum Drywall Access Door – Karp

There are times when it feels impossible to find an access door that delivers everything—clean design, code compliance, easy installation, and reliable performance. Some options blend into the surface but make life difficult for installers. Others meet specs but interrupt the visual flow of a high-end interior. And some only work well until someone needs to open them.

The KAD Aluminum Drywall Access Door by Karp solves all that in one clean solution. It hides access points behind a removable panel with a gypsum inlay, keeping the look seamless while staying fully accessible and compliant.

Why Should You Use the 12" x 12" KAD Aluminum Drywall Access Door?

• Solves Visibility Issues in Finished Spaces: All hardware is hidden behind a 5/8" drywall insert, allowing the panel to disappear into the wall or ceiling once finished. It's ideal for commercial and residential interiors where aesthetics can’t take a back seat to utility.
• Installs Smoothly With Drywall Systems: The 0.75" deep frame is designed to integrate with 5/8" drywall and 0.125" compound. Its four-piece aluminum extrusion provides a solid structure without warping or shifting during installation.
• Offers Easy, Clean Access With No Disruption: The door panel is completely removable, giving full, unobstructed access to utilities or system components behind the wall or ceiling.
• Keeps Hardware Out of Sight: Its mechanical touch-latch opens with light pressure and stays hidden when unused. A free pivoting hinge system allows smooth operation, and all components are tucked behind the panel for a clean finish.
• Supports Long-Term Use and Safe Handling: A continuous gasket reduces vibration and helps keep the panel snug against the frame. A safety cable ensures the panel remains secure during removal and handling, reducing the risk of accidental drops or damage.
