Our Step-by-Step Process for Access Door Installation

Every access door we install follows a systematic approach to ensure performance, safety and code compliance from the first cut to the final finish.

Our team begins with a thorough review of architectural drawings and site conditions to determine access panel locations. We identify fire-rated zones, moisture-sensitive areas and clearance requirements. Coordination with other trades ensures our plan won’t interfere with mechanical or electrical systems. All decisions are guided by Ontario Building Code standards.
Once locations are confirmed, we prepare the openings with proper framing using steel or wood, depending on wall type and fire rating. Supports are secured to ensure structural integrity and to accommodate the specific door size. In fire-rated assemblies, we use certified framing methods. The opening is checked for square, plumb alignment before installation.
We install fire-rated or non-rated access doors using manufacturer-approved fasteners and sealing materials. The door is fitted flush with the wall surface to ensure seamless integration. Hinges, latches and gaskets are tested for smooth function and code compliance. Where applicable, fire caulking or acoustic sealant is applied.
Surrounding drywall or wall surface is repaired, taped and finished to blend the panel into the design. In tiled or masonry walls, trims and edges are refinished to match. We ensure paint or surface treatments are consistent for a clean final look. All elements are aligned to avoid visual disruption in high-visibility spaces.
Our team performs a final inspection to verify proper operation, code compliance and aesthetic integration. Any adjustments are made on-site to ensure a perfect fit. We walk through the installed areas with the client or GC for sign-off. Documentation is provided when required for compliance or record-keeping.

Hidden Access, Essential Function

When Access Door Installation is Required

Access doors are essential in commercial interiors where building systems – like plumbing, electrical or fire safety components – must remain accessible for inspection or maintenance. They’re commonly required in healthcare facilities, office buildings, schools and anywhere routine access behind walls or ceilings is necessary. Fire-rated panels are often mandated by code in areas where fire separation must be preserved.

Without proper access doors, critical systems may become difficult or unsafe to service, leading to costly damage or code violations. These installations ensure that trades can reach hidden infrastructure without compromising wall integrity or appearance. In many cases, having a compliant access panel is not optional – it’s a functional necessity.
