Customer Reviews 

“The unit is high quality and was very easy to install. It really insulates the heat from the attic.” - Terry C. 

“Found product online, ordered. It was exactly what I needed and exactly what it was promoted to be online. Installation was extremely easy. How it might hold up in a fire I hope never to find out, but I am sure it would be much better than the old loose fitting plywood door or just an open opening with no door. I also appreciate Home Depot, which didn't carry this product, referring me to this company's website.” - John L. 

“Great value, fast delivery, and courteous customer service. Keep up the good work, definitely will be a repeat customer and will recommend it to others.” - Sam L. 

“I ordered this and it was shipped and received in just a few days. Install instructions online were correct, and we had it pre-framed and dropped it in and installed it in a matter of minutes. Best place to get access doors is best access doors- who'd have thought!” - Kirk B.
