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.
