THOMPSON FABRICATING COMPANY
7E Aluminum Access Hatches
Thompson Fabricating Company has been in business since 1953. Over the
decades we have constantly measured the reliability of access doors in the
field. With this information we have engineered a line of competitively priced
aluminum floor hatches to meet the construction industry's exact needs. We
have continued working on these products throughout the years in an effort
to manufacture access doors that are second to none. We feel that our new
line of access doors combine the engineering and craftsmanship that will
deliver outstanding performance and durability like no other before.
THOMPSON FABRICATING CO. access doors are watertight*, gastight, and
odortight. We have incorporated this into our TUFHATCHES as a standard
without increasing our price.
