14" x 14" Fire Rated Access Door for Drywall Surfaces - Karp

16" x 16" KRP-350FR Fire-Rated Access Door for Drywall

You want to check the compliance box with certified fire-rated access doors, but you don't want to ruin your clean finish. We understand—an access door that sticks out or fails inspection isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a liability.

In facilities where every detail matters—a surgical wing, a clean research lab, or a food production floor—this could mean reworks and unnecessary delays. 

The 16" x 16" KRP-350FR Fire-Rated Access Door for Drywall combines aesthetics, ease of installation, and compliance, addressing all these concerns at once.

With its textured frame and bead, this access panel takes drywall compound evenly, letting you bury the flange and achieve a smooth, professional surface. At the same time, it's UL fire-rated for walls up to 90 minutes and Warnock Hersey-rated for ceilings up to 3 hours. 

Why Choose the 16" x 16" KRP-350FR Fire-Rated Access Door for Drywall?

• Professional Finish: Designed with a drywall bead edge, this fire-rated panel blends smoothly into walls and ceilings for a professional finish that doesn’t distract from the space.
• Certified Fire Ratings: The fire-rated insulated core helps meet code requirements and reduces noise transfer, making it ideal for hospitals, labs, and other sensitive spaces.
• Smooth Access: The door swings open 175 degrees on a sturdy piano hinge, making it easy to get in and out during inspection and maintenance.
• Secure Latches: The spring-loaded latch with a keyed paddle handle keeps everything locked tight. The “all keyed alike” option eliminates the hassle of juggling multiple keys.
• Long-Lasting Finish: A durable, baked-on enamel coating resists rust and wear, with stainless steel available for environments that demand extra hygiene and toughness.
• Solid Installation: Masonry straps and heavy-gauge steel construction mean once it’s in, it stays put, offering reliable performance for the long haul. 

Even with its solid construction and fire-rated performance, every project has its own set of challenges. If your layout calls for a non-standard opening or a unique specification, you don’t have to compromise.
