➄ Do not use access panel to bear any weight other than ceiling fi nish
materials.
Installation
➀ Install framing channels secured to two main runner channels, as required
(see Fig. 1 for example).
➁ Hold door so bottom of hinge is even with ceiling tile surface, and
determine vertical location for bolt holes in framing channels opposite slots
in door frame. Bolt channels to frame.
➂ Place door in position, aligned with the rows of tile, and secure the framing
channels to the main runners. Installation of door is now completed (see

➃ Measure inside bottom of door to determine size of ceiling tile required.
Trim small portion of edges off of tiles to be applied to door panel so they
will fi t within door frame without binding. Bevel front edge back toward
bottom of tile suffi ciently to provide clearance as door is opened.
➄ Saw or drill proper size holes in tile to permit screwdriver operation of cam
locks. To protect tile during cam lock operation, insert grommet furnished
with door. Anchor grommet in place with adhesive mastic.
➅ Fasten tile to door panel with adhesive mastic (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3). Depth
of mastic will vary to align different thicknesses of tile with the plane of the
surrounding surface.
➆ Door opens freely when unlocked. To secure door, use screwdriver to
operate cam lock (see Fig. 4). The slot in the head of the cam lock stud is
at right angles with the engaging door frame member when in locked
position.
Please Note: You may have to “force” the cams at fi rst, to break them loose
from dried paint inside door.
