Framing Guide

The BAUCO® plus II requires a rough framed opening 2 1/2" (63.5 mm) bigger than the panel size. Your existing rough framed opening, will determine the maximum size panel that will fit, or you frame the opening for the access opening size you want. Detailed installation instructions are available on the installation guide page.

Door Size

For example, a 12" x 12" (304.8 x 304.8 mm) door opening will require a rough framed opening of 14 1/2" x 14 1/2" (368.3 x 368.3 mm).

Cut Opening in Drywall

The BAUCO® plus II frame mounts to the surrounding drywall rather than the structural framing. You will require a 1 1/4" (31.7 mm) lip of drywall on all sides for the access panel outer frame to mount to. The cut opening in your drywall will be the door size + 3/8" (9.5 mm).

Drywall Thickness

The door frame is recessed for either 1/2" (12.7 mm) or 5/8" (15.9 mm) gypsum board. You need to specify which board your wall or ceiling is made of.

Wall Orientation

If your door will be in a wall, we will need to know what the horizontal (width) & vertical (height) measurements are. The BAUCO® plus II doors are designed with the latches at the top of the door and the free-pivot hinge at the bottom.
