Description
The E-Z Hatch® Attic Access Door is an air-tight, high-performance, energy-efficient attic access scuttle door. It is R-50 or R-80, triple-gasketed, pre-finished, and fits in a 22 ½” x 30 ½” rough opening. The E-Z Hatch Attic Access Door Panel Hatch System is easy to install, easy to use, and features a highly insulated door, panel, scuttle hatch system that has an option that includes a secure 4 point locking latch and handles. It provides an air sealed, professional, high-quality, insulated access opening into the attic space. The E-Z Hatch Attic Door can be used for new construction and retrofit. The locking model can be used in knee walls as well as attic entry.
The E-Z Hatch Attic Door with Lock is the only scuttle/attic access hatch kit available that meets the 2015 and 2018 International Conservation Code (IECC) Section R402.2.4 and the 2015 and 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) n1102.2.4 and Energy Star Thermal Bypass requirements used in all 50 states.
Triple gaskets provide an airtight seal with the option of R-50 Insulation or R-80 insulation. The core of the door is 10 inches thick and made of Expanded Polystyrene foam that provides a better R-Value than fiberglass. The face of the door is glossed white, durable, and easy to clean. The lightweight door opens with little effort, allowing easy entry into your attic space. The finished face on the door fits tightly into the weatherstrip on the trim when the door closes.
The top gasket of closed-cell insulation seals the top of the door. Gaskets provided where the trim meets the ceiling, where the face of the door meets the trim, and where the top of the door meets the frame. The gasket is fire rated per ASTM E84 for flame spread (FSI) 25 or less, smoke developed (SDI) 50 or less, (required by Code for exposed insulation), and meets code requirements.
The lightweight door weighs only 10 pounds and lifts up and out of the way for easy attic access.
No hinges – The door is designed to prevent interference with the roof joists. Perfect for use with any type of attic insulation, including blown-in insulation. The 12 in. tall wood frame acts as an insulation dam, which holds the insulation back from the opening, and takes the mess out of getting into your attic space. Sized to fit either between roof trusses 24″ on-center or between ceiling joists 16″ o.c. with minimal carpentry required (cut one joist and add headers).
Helps Meet the following LEED Homes credit categories:
•Meets the LEED Energy & Atmosphere Credits 3.1 (Minimal Envelope Leakage)
•Exceeds the LEED Energy & Atmosphere Credit for Enhanced Insulation

Code Requirements
2015, 2018 IRC Section N1102.2.3 and 2015, 2018 IECC Section R402.2.4 reads “Access doors from conditioned spaces to unconditioned spaces (e.g. attics and crawl spaces) shall be weather-stripped and insulated to a level equivalent to the insulation on the surrounding surfaces.”
These Code requirements mean the attic access pull down ladder or access hatch must now be insulated to the same level as the rest of the attic (minimum R-30).

I had no trouble at all installing the door. It was easy to install and it’s the best thing I have seen for keeping in the heat and the cold out – Feel free to quote me. I need another one.

We have been using your E-Z Hatch® access door for our new “green homes” which are certified through the Green Communities and Earth Craft Homes programs. We’ve been very satisfied with the Battic hatches and want to continue using them in our next 10 homes that we are currently building.

The E-Z Hatch® attic access door we purchased from you on the last project was a great success and we received an Energy Star HERS rating of 66 on the property. we’re shooting for 60 or below on this next project.
Len T. ~ Center Barnstead, NH –
We purchased a home in New Hampshire that, incredibly, had no way to access the attic space. I was going to construct my own access door when I went online and found the E-Z Hatch® R-42 Attic Access Door. I ordered the E-Z Hatch® door and it arrived quickly and in perfect condition. After cutting a hole in a closet ceiling and re-framing a couple of ceiling joists, the E-Z Hatch® door installed easily and looks great! As a Licensed Contractor and a Registered Professional Engineer, I found the E-Z Hatch® Attic Access Scuttle Door be of very high quality and it was a perfect solution to our attic access problem.
