Field checklist

Ask foreman

Do you want this access door frame sealed, and can we verify the door still opens after?

Do not

Do not bury or seal shut an access door.

Why it matters

Access doors support inspection, cleaning, balancing, and service; making them airtight by gluing them shut creates a bigger problem.
