The panels are powder coated white. It is also possible to paint them so that they better blend in with the ceiling or wall they are fitting in. In order to not stand out, these panels also have a patented spring loaded invisible keyhole (SLIK) to hide the hole when not in use.

You have an option of different locking solutions to choose from as well. As standard, the panels are supplied with a black T key for locking and unlocking the panels. However, you may instead want a Radial Pin Tumbler (RPT) for added security.

The ability to lock them and their strong constructions mean tampering with the contents is practically impossible.

There is also a choice of framework available to suit your needs. The picture frame option is best for when the area is already finished and decorated. Whereas in unfinished environments, the beaded frame is ideal when the wall or ceiling is yet to be skimmed. Both of these types are available in a metal version for ceiling installations.

Larger panels open using a full-length piano hinge, and the smaller units use a pivot hinge. However, if you’re unable to find the correct size, contact our customer service for a quote on a bespoke size.

Also, don’t forget to let us know whether this is for fitting to a wall or ceiling so we can ensure you receive the appropriate certification.

Please note: Due to the nature of the product, these access panels are exempt from our standard next working day service. All sizes are made to order and should be delivered within 3 to 5 working days.
