Flush fire-rated access door

The Tough Guy 2VE76 is a flush-mounted steel access door measuring 18 by 18 inches. It installs in walls or ceilings and provides insulated closure for maintenance or inspection points in commercial and industrial buildings.

Insulated steel with self-latching latch

Powder-coated steel construction and piano hinge deliver a tight seal when closed. The self-latching tool-key slam latch engages automatically, helping the assembly meet a 1 1/2 hour fire rating in walls and a 3 hour rating in non-combustible ceilings.

Rough opening 18 1/4 by 18 3/8 inches

Installation requires a wall or ceiling opening of 18 1/4 inches high by 18 3/8 inches wide with eight quarter-inch mounting holes. Builders needing a different rough opening or a non-fire-rated panel should select another model.

Questions about this item

How is the flush-mount access door installed, and which step is often missed?

Frame the rough opening to 18 1/4 in high by 18 3/8 in wide, fasten the frame through the eight 1/4 in diameter mounting holes, then verify the piano hinge swings freely before closing the self-latching slam latch.

What maintenance will the powder-coated steel door and piano hinge need over time?

Inspect the powder-coated finish annually for scratches, touch up any bare steel to prevent corrosion, and lubricate the piano hinge with light machine oil so the self-latching tool-key latch continues to engage cleanly.

Which fire-rating limit is reached first during a sustained fire test?

The 1 1/2 hour wall rating is reached before the 3 hour non-combustible ceiling rating or the 1 hour combustible ceiling rating.
