An extensive range of concealed or visible access panels. Depending on your specification, you can choose fire-rated or non-fire rated with lockable options. The metal access panel is powder-coated as standard which can either be left as the finish or painted over to match the surrounding décor without compromising on design. Whether a wall or ceiling access panel, you can be assured it will be manufactured to the highest standards, made from robust Zintec steel to your direct specifications and sizes.
Via access panels are fitted with a selection of hinge types to suit your requirements. The Square Key lock is concealed by a white plastic collar and plug, with the option of a touch latch to completely conceal all locks.
The Via access panel is available with a beaded frame; this can be used with plaster or tape and joint systems to skim up to. This creates a smooth, even surface with the surrounding wall and creates a concealed, or ‘hidden’ access panel.
For applications where plastering and overpainting or tiling of the access panel is not required a powder coated Picture Frame may be used along with a metal-faced panel. The solid steel flange sits on the surface of the adjoining wall or ceiling creating a surround.
Constructed in robust 1.2mm thick Zintec steel, Via metal access panel/inspection hatch is fitted with a removable pivot plate and either pin hinges, or continuous piano hinges. The T-key lock is concealed by a white plastic collar and plug, with the option of touch-latch to completely conceal all locks.
A range of sizes can be manufactured and customised here in the UK to suit your project specification.

These features make Via Access Panels a robust, adaptable, and aesthetically flexible solution for a variety of building applications
These panels are likely used in buildings for fire resistance, providing access while maintaining fire integrity for a minimum of 60 or 120 minutes.
The panels operate by being installed in partitions or ceilings, with the leaves (doors) remaining flat and in contact with the frame all around the perimeter to maintain fire resistance. When closed and latched/locked, the access panel provides a barrier that resists fire for the rated period. The system includes different types and configurations (such as single or double leaf) to suit different installation needs.
The available finishes for Via access panels include:
These finishes are permitted because they either degrade rapidly or remain inert under fire test conditions without significantly affecting the fire resistance performance of the access panel
Via Access Panels are available with both concealed frame and visible frame options. The concealed frame can be tape and jointed or plastered, then painted to match the surrounding finish, while visible frame options are also available for various configurations and types of panels
Via access panels are available in the following configurations:
You can obtain the specifications for the Via system by contacting the Selo team, or NBS Source.
Via Access Panels are available with fire ratings. They offer fire resistance up to E120, meaning they can provide protection for up to 120 minutes, depending on the specific type and configuration.
