• Dual Lock Recommendation: For widths exceeding 750mm on the hinge side, two locks are recommended to ensure a secure, tight draught seal.

Made to measure. Replaced the existing loft access hatch, a hand made hidious thing made of wood. Looks great. Works great. Easy to install. Job done.

Fantastic build quality, look and feels very well made, would recommend to anyone wanting a hatch for domestic or industrial use.

Great quality and finish; delivered earlier than expected; easy fit. Provides exactly what was needed to replace a badly constructed and leaky timber and hardboard Heath Robinson contraption. Happy to recommend.

Excellent product, just as described and perfect custom sized fit. Even after placing my order asking for the hinges on the wrong size it was quickly sorted with one quick call.

Loft hatch was bigger than standard so wasn’t too sure how easy it would be to replace but this one was perfect fitted easily in half an hour and looks loads better than my wooden one

I purchased the above as I was struggling to find a new hatch to fit the opening I had. I came across this site put my measurements in and within a week I had the new hatch at home and installed. Very easy to install and a good quality product. Would highly recommend
