Profab PRIMA 1000 Plasterboard Access Panel, Beaded Frame

A lockable access panel with a plasterboard door, for walls and ceilings where the panel should all but disappear. The door and the beaded frame are taped and skimmed with the surrounding surface, leaving only a fine shadow line around the door. From the Profab PRIMA 1000 Series.

Benefits

• Plasterboard faced door for a near invisible finish once decorated
• Concealed budget lock supplied with a white cap
• Suitable for vertical (wall) or horizontal (ceiling) access
• Door lifts off its pivot hinge for fitting and replacement

Construction

• 1.2 mm electro-galvanised mild steel frame with beaded edge
• 1.2 mm steel door tray holding 9.5 mm standard plasterboard
• Concealed budget lock operated with an 8 mm T-bar key (included)
• Frame powder coated matt white, RAL 9010
• Overall depth 55 mm

Performance

• Not fire rated
• For internal use only, in areas of normal humidity

Frame

Beaded frame (BF): a simulated drywall edge bead profile, for panels installed before tape and jointing or skim coat plastering, so the plaster finishes right up to the door.

Size specification

• All dimensions are in mm, and the size (X x Y) is the outside rear frame size
• Doors hinge along dimension Y, so rectangular panels hinge on the long side
• Structural opening required: (X + 5) x (Y + 5), for example 605 x 605 mm for a 600 x 600 mm panel
• Panels are made to size and cannot be cut down

Sizes available

Operation

Remove the white cap from the door face, insert the supplied 8 mm T-bar key into the keyhole, turn to unlatch and pull the door open. The door sits on a concealed pivot hinge and lifts off for fitting or replacement.

Installation

Openings in dry lined walls and ceilings must be properly formed and supported to take the weight of the panel and the forces of opening and closing. Fix with at least No. 6 steel plasterboard screws into plasterboard, or M6 steel anchors into masonry. Full fixing details are in the installation instructions below.
