EDGES, OPENINGS AND INTERFACES / FIELD NOTE 16
Designing Honeycomb Panel Access Hatches
An access hatch should work repeatedly without the panel dragging on its neighbors or loading its skin through unsuitable hardware. The opening direction affects clearances that are hard to see in an elevation.
What to check on your project
Supply an open-position section and identify the hinge and latch support. Check access to the hardware, clear opening after finishes, the joint appearance and a way to remove the hatch without damaging adjacent panels.
