Steps in Installing the BA-AHD General Purpose Access Door to Drywall

The installation process of General Purpose Access Doors is generally an easy and quick task. But if you're having a hard time figuring out how to install this quality access door, here's a quick, easy step on installing it on a drywall surface!

Step #1

Using your pencil, mark your locations or trace the panel size onto the drywall. Draw an opening 3/8 inches more prominent than the door size while keeping a minimum adjustment of 1 1/2 inches from every surrounding stud. Always remember that accurate marking is vital in this process.

Step #2

After marking, you're now ready to cut out your drywall. Using a saw, start cutting your drywall from the edges to avoid mistakes and carefully following the markings you have traced. Gently remove the cut-out drywall and sand the edges thoroughly for a cleaner finish.

Step #3

After removing the cut-out, pass the frame through the opening and gently pull through the drywall. To put the frame into place, continue to drive self-tapping screws through the drywall and into the frame every four inches.

Step #4

Don't forget to test the door by opening and closing it to see it smoothly done. Also, check the screwdriver cam latch if it functions properly. After testing, get ready to prepare your drywall compound and place it on the edges of the frame. After applying the mixture, sand it smoothly until it matches the drywall for a smoother and cleaner finish.

Step #5

Attach the white plastic caps to cover the screw-ins for safety purposes. Once you have completed the following processes, get your paint and paintbrush ready to match your newly installed general-purpose access door!
