High Security Access Door for Controlled Building Access

Karp's DSB-123SD High Security Access Door is designed for facilities that require reinforced protection around maintenance and service openings. Built with a heavy-duty steel door, reinforced welded frame and detention-style locking hardware, it provides secure access to concealed building systems while helping restrict unauthorized entry.

The DSB-123SD is intended for architects, contractors and institutions specifying access doors for areas where standard access panels do not provide the required level of security.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

The DSB-123SD uses reinforced steel components designed for demanding security applications.

Key construction features include:

  • 10-gauge steel door

  • 2 × 2 × 3/16-inch angle frame with welded joints ground smooth

  • Heavy-duty hinges welded to the door and frame

  • Heavy-duty detention-type lock

  • Additional flush spanner-head cam latches

  • Masonry anchor straps and mounting holes

  • Rust-inhibitive electrostatic powder primer with baked enamel finish

Detention-Style Locking Hardware

The DSB-123SD features a heavy-duty detention-type lock to help secure the access opening. Additional spanner-head cam latches are welded flush to the door surface, providing supplementary locking points.

This combination is designed for applications where stronger access control is required than a conventional access door can provide. Confirm the required lock configuration and keying with Karp when preparing project specifications.

Applications for High-Security Environments

The DSB-123SD is designed for institutional and commercial projects where access openings require reinforced construction and secure locking.

Potential project applications include:

  • Correctional and detention facilities

  • Institutional buildings

  • Secure mechanical and utility areas

  • Restricted maintenance spaces

  • Commercial facilities with controlled service access

Select the door based on the project's security requirements, installation conditions and specified hardware.

Standard Sizes and Rough Opening Requirements

The DSB-123SD is available in six standard sizes. The required wall or ceiling opening is 1/2 inch larger than the nominal door size in both dimensions.

High Security vs. Medium Security Access Doors

Karp offers both high-security and medium-security access doors. The right model depends on the level of protection and locking hardware required for the project.
