Pasos de instalación:

Measure the rough opening required for the access door. The door frame typically requires an opening slightly larger than the nominal door size (e.g., for a 10x10 door, a 10.25x10.25 inch opening might be suitable, refer to the product's exact rough-in dimensions if available). Mark the desired location on the wall or ceiling using a pencil and level. Carefully cut the opening using the appropriate tool for your wall material.

Insert the access door frame into the prepared opening to ensure a proper fit. The frame should sit flush with the surface.
