INSTALLATION

Cast-In Place Installation

1. Attach anchor straps

a. Floor doors for concrete pour applications are provided with 1”x4”x1/8”

masonry anchors as shown. Anchors will need to be bolted on prior to install.

2. Square the frame

a. It is vital that the frame remains square and level during the concrete pour.

3. Set the frame in the opening

a. Secure the floor door into the desired area with welding, bolting or other

anchorage, making sure not to interfere with the operation of the hatch.

4. Protect exposed aluminum from cement

a. To ensure a good quality installation and prevent staining, alkaline building

materials such as cement should be removed quickly from aluminum surfaces.

5. Set concrete

a. Reference the options below and pour concrete to the top edge of the frame,

leveling to finish flush with the top flange of the floor door. Allow to cure for

seven days prior to opening the floor door. Opening the unit prior may crack

the concrete.

b. After the seven days for concrete curing, open the door(s)

and inspect the unit for excess concrete that may have

seeped or fallen into the hinges, or latch. (The doors will be

heavy until the springs are engaged; opening will require

two people.) It is important to note that springs will be

disengaged on doors with more than two springs. Remove

any concrete to ensure smooth operation.

6. Engage Springs

a. Manually open the door to the 90-degree position. The hold open

arm, will automatically hold the door open.

b. While in the 90-degree position the spring should settle on the plate at the

bottom of the housing.

c. Slide in the keeper extension until it rests on the spring. (Figure 1)

d. Slide the spring keeper down until it touches the top of the spring keeper

extension. Using a ½-inch wrench tighten the two hex head screws.

e. Disengage the hold open arm to test the closing and opening operation. If

the door does not close fully, slide the keeper back away from the keeper

extension and retighten.

7. Adjust Spring (optional)

a. Open the door to the 90-degree position, the hold open

arm will automatically hold the door open.

b. First, disengage the spring by loosening the two hex head screws in the spring

keeper. (Figure 2)

Note: Spring position is factory set. Adjust only if field conditions

require more or less spring force.

Bolt-In Place Installation

NOTE: Frames are pre-drilled with 3/8” diameter holes as shown in below. The bolt holes have clearance

holes for 3/8-inch hardware. All mounting hardware is provided by others.

The flange on the frames will set on top of the flooring and the frame will slide into the opening.

1. Mark Drill Hole Locations

a. Set the door into the desired opening area. The hinge side frame should make

connection with the wall, this connection will add the necessary brace for the

frame. Shim as necessary to square and level.

b. Mark where fastener holes are located on the mounting surface.

2. Drill holes in Mounting Surface

a. Remove the floor door and drill 3/8” diameter holes into the mounting surface

at the marked locations.

3. Secure Floor Door to Mounting Surface

a. With two or more people, set the floor door in place and secure to the

mounting surface with bolts (For existing concrete openings, 3/8-inch anchor

bolts are recommended (Figure 1 & 2). For existing wood openings 3/8-inch lag

bolts are recommended) (Figure 3 & 4). Secure Hinge side frame first.

operation include turn handle latches, compression springs, stainless steel hinges and a

locking hold open arm as detailed:

1. Latch: Zinc-plated steel slam latch with interior rotating

handle, and exterior L-handle key

2. Spring: Compression springs to ensure ease of opening and

closing during use.

3. Hinge: Stainless Steel hinges

4. Hold Open Arm: Locking hold open arm automatically

engages and locks when the door fully opens. The hold

open arm must be engaged in the locked position to ensure

that the door does not close unintentionally. Pull the

handle to unlock and safely close the door.

5. Optional Self-Closing Mechanism: Integrated in hold open arm assembly. (Figure 1)
