FBR-5060 Fire-Rated Uninsulated Access Door for Walls

The FBR-5060 is a fire-rated, uninsulated access door for wall applications where maintaining continuity in a 2-hour fire-rated wall is required.

Its 16-gauge steel or stainless steel door and frame sit flush to the frame with reinforced edges. A concealed hinge keeps hardware off the face of the door, and a universal self-latching bolt pulls the door closed and latches it automatically on contact. An inside latch release gives technicians a way out if the door closes while they're working behind the wall.

For walls, the FBR-5060 carries a UL 1-1/2 hour "B" label and a ULC 2-hour "B" label, and is listed to UL 10B, CAN/ULC S104, and NFPA 80.

Why Do Contractors Choose FBR-5060 Fire-Rated Uninsulated Access Door for Walls?

• Fire rated for wall continuity: Carries a UL 1-1/2 hour "B" label and ULC 2-hour "B" label for walls, with compliance to UL 10B, CAN/ULC S104, and NFPA 80.
• Self-latching on contact: The universal self-latching bolt engages automatically when the door closes, maintaining the fire-rated assembly without a separate manual latching step.
• Self-closing: The door closes on its own after use, keeping the fire-rated wall assembly intact.
• Removable door panel: The door panel is available in a removable configuration for projects requiring full, unobstructed access to the cavity.

What Comes Standard and What Can Be Configured?

Every FBR-5060 ships with the following as standard:

• 16-gauge steel door and 16-gauge mounting frame, flush to frame with reinforced edges
• Concealed hinge
• Universal self-latching bolt, operated by knurled knob or flush key
• Inside latch release
• Self-closing mechanism
• Baked White Prime Coat finish
• Removable door panel

The following must be specified at the time of order and is not included as standard:

• Stainless steel construction
• Rim or mortise cylinder lock preparation (Master Keying)

What Should You Confirm Before Ordering FBR-5060?

• Wall opening size: The rough opening must be the nominal door size plus 3/8" (9mm). For instance, a 24" x 36" door requires a 24-3/8" x 36-3/8" wall opening.
• Fire rating requirement: The FBR-5060 is rated for wall applications only. The maximum rated wall size is 36" x 48". If your opening exceeds this, confirm with our team whether a custom or alternative solution is available.
• Temperature rise requirement: The FBR-5060 is uninsulated and designed for fire-rated wall continuity only when temperature rise is not a factor. If your assembly requires an insulated alternative, check out our other fire-rated panels to find the right fit.
• Material: Choose steel for standard fire-rated wall applications. Choose stainless steel where corrosion resistance is required.
• Lock option: The standard latch operates with a knurled knob or a flush key. If your project requires master keying, specify the rim or mortise cylinder lock preparation at the time of order.
• Production lead time: Lead time depends on size, material, and configuration. Request a quote to confirm production and ship dates.

Installation Notes

• Cut the wall opening to the nominal door size plus 3/8" (9mm) before installation.
• The flange is 1" wide. Confirm wall finish depth accommodates the flange on all four sides before installation.
• The self-latching bolt engages automatically when the door closes. No manual latching step is required after installation.
• The inside latch release allows the door to open from inside the wall cavity. Confirm this feature is accessible based on cavity depth and component layout after installation.
• Additional finish paint is recommended after installation for superior corrosion resistance, particularly in humid or moisture-prone environments.

Who Installs FBR-5060 and Where Is It Used?

The FBR-5060 is specified by architects, contractors, and facility managers who need a fire-rated access point in wall assemblies where insulation isn’t a requirement, and code-compliant fire continuity must be maintained.

Common applications include:

• Commercial buildings: Fire-rated access to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components in offices, retail spaces, and common areas where the wall assembly is fire-rated.
• Healthcare facilities: Code-compliant fire-rated access in hospitals, clinics, and care facilities subject to NFPA 80 requirements.
• Institutional buildings: Fire-rated access points in schools, government buildings, and other occupancies with UL 10B and CAN/ULC S104 compliance requirements.
• Multifamily and residential buildings: Fire-rated access in corridor and utility walls in buildings subject to fire-rated wall continuity requirements.
• Renovation and retrofit projects: Fire-rated access added to existing wall assemblies where the opening size falls within the rated maximum.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I calculate the wall opening for FBR-5060?

Add 3/8" (9mm) to the nominal door size on each dimension. For example, a 24" x 36" door requires a 24-3/8" x 36-3/8" wall opening. This applies to all standard sizes.

2. What is the fire rating for FBR-5060?

The FBR-5060 carries a UL 1-1/2 hour "B" label and a ULC 2-hour "B" label for wall installations. It is listed to UL 10B, CAN/ULC S104, and NFPA 80.

3. Is FBR-5060 rated for ceiling installations?

No. The FBR-5060 is rated for wall applications only.

4. Does the door latch automatically?

Yes. The universal self-latching bolt engages when the door closes. No separate manual latching step is required. The latch operates with a knurled knob or flush key and releases from inside the wall cavity.

5. Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Custom sizes are available on request. Contact our team before ordering to confirm dimensions, fire rating applicability, and lead time.
