Metal roof hatches for internal access to rooftop areas
Anchor Safe supply, install, and certify roof access hatches for convenient and safe access and egress to rooftop areas from inside the building or ceiling space. Our hatches are robust and user-friendly with soft close mechanisms, single-handed internal locking levers, and maximum opening sizes to facilitate workers with tools and equipment to exit safely.

Providing Convenient & Safe Access
Our highly experienced design team will develop an internal hatch access system to meet the specific needs of your site. We supply and install appropriate ladders, stairways, and guardrails to ensure access is convenient, and your site remains safe and compliant with all relevant Australian height safety standards. Our access hatches are installed by qualified roof plumbers to ensure our hatch installations are watertight and meet construction codes and standards. Every step from design to certification is managed by our team.
Hatches with Fixed Stairs
A hatch with access stairs provides the easiest method of access and carries the lowest residual fall risk of all roof access solutions. A fixed stairway is the best access hatch solution where materials or tools may need to be regularly transferred to the roof via the hatch.
Hatches with Fixed Ladders
A hatch with a permanently mounted ladder provides convenient access with a significantly smaller footprint than a stairway. We can design systems with either angled or vertical ladder systems, as well as cages and rest platforms as required.
Hatches with Fold-Down Ladders
A hatch with a lightweight fold-down ladder provides safe and compliant access where space is limited. When not needed these folding ladders are stored neatly in the ceiling leaving the floor space clear for normal activities.

The Australian Standards for roof access hatches are laid out in AS1657:2018 stating the requirements for the safe access through access hatch systems. View Anchor Safe’s specification guides to hatch requirements according to the Australian Standards.
