    BA-FRU Fire-Rated Insulated Panel Upward Opening

    Access Doors such as BA-FRU Fire-Rated Insulated Panel Opening by Best Access Doors offer a convenient, space saving solution for walls and ceilings. The innovative BAC-FRU access door features a strategically placed continuous piano hinge, which grants a greater extension than standard hinges.

    BA-FRU's upward opening design is perfectly suited for cramped areas where space is limited, or a downward opening door is impractical. Designed for inclusion in ceilings, BA-FRU is thermally insulated, with 2” thick mineral wool, increasing the energy efficiency of your applications.

    This highly durable, U.L. Listed, cold-rolled steel access door complies with NFPA 80 requirements with a self-latching mechanism for complete peace of mind.

    Take a Closer Look at BA-FRU:

    • Upward Opening: BAC-FRU'S upward opening door complies with code regulations for accessible routes, where applicable. BAC-FRU's upward opening door is a space-saving solution where access is partial or limited.
    • Fire-Rated: BAC-FRU is a fire-rated access door that has achieved a fire rating of up to 2 hours on rated ceilings.
    • Self-Latching: The BAC-FRU maintains a self-latching mechanism to ensure hands-free and hassle-free operation in accordance with NFPA 80 standards.
    • Durable Construction: BAC-FRU comprises cold-rolled steel, resistant to rust, corrosion, and wear due to frequent use.
    • Thermal Insulation: BAC-FRU contains mineral wool insulation, contributing to its fire rating while enhancing the thermal properties of your application.

    BA-FRU offers excellent value as an insulated fire-rated access door and supports fire-rated walls with a robust cold-rolled steel frame of 3” depth. The sleek steel finish is well-crafted and a pleasure to handle and install.

    Standard models arrive with a high-quality white powder coat primer that will blend in with drywall. However, if necessary, you can texture, wallpaper, or paint the panel door to suit your decor.

    Where restricted access to internal components is necessary, you can substitute BA-FRU's standard tool key-operated cam and latch (ring-operated slam latch also included) for a;

    • Handle-operated slam latch
    • Mortise preparation for cylinder (cylinder optional)
    • Hex head slam latch
    • Mortise deadbolt lock

    Standard units over 12 "x 12” also have an inside panel release, providing convenient and hassle-free access for entries and exits.
