SuteckPlastic Access Panel for Drywall Ceiling 4 x 6 Inch Reinforced Plumbing Wall Access Doors Removable Hinged White

We found ourselves having to open the same wall section twice due to plumbing problems over several years. Instead of repairing the drywall for a second time, we decided to install an access panel just in case we have a repeat winter that damages the outside water faucet, or we eventually need to replace the shower/tub water valve. It was easy to install and secure to the drywall with Gorilla construction adhesive.

This thing is awesome! I have twice cut into this wall for access to a frozen pipe. I drywalled the hole up after the first time thinking I wouldn’t need it again. Wrong. This time, I bought this access panel for a couple reasons. I didn’t have to do any drywall work, and I can now open the door when the temps drop below zero and let the interior warmth keep the pipe from freezing. Win win. But this item is well made and fit perfectly. I’m buying another for access to the shower valve in the bathroom

Wife was complaining about the look of our exposed laundry room drain box - it looked unfinished. Decided to try this plastic door to see if I could make it work. With the help of an oscillation tool and a few minutes work, was able to fit this over the box to, at least, make it less obvious. Until I come up with a perfect solution, this has hidden the box a bit better. Not completely hidden but 100% better than the exposed, ugly box we have had there for years. Now I just need to paint it.

Clever placement of the holes. Decent white color. It feels a bit cheap though. So if its an install once and revisit years later its ok. But if youre opening daily or even once a month. Get something else

These plumbers access doors are phenomenal! They are so very easy to install and look so much better than a piece of sheet rock screwed back on to cover the hole up. If a 64 year old lady can install them, I think just about anyone should be able to.

I recently installed a 3 zone mini split in my home. Multiple zones left me with multiple refrigerant lines coming down the wall that ( keeping it real), looked terrible ! So I ran them through the walls and cut a hole to access the connections to the airhandelers . These plastic panels made a great inspection and service access cover.They snap shut tightly and when painted the color of the wall they go virtually un- noticed. Light weight, durable and easy to install. I just used construction glue around the inside of the frame.A great value for the price.

Works good

The veritical flange is only about 1/2” which you can’t mount it to the stud. I had to caulked the cover onto the wall. This will make it difficult to repaint wall cleanly if I can’t easily remove it. Why I also have to add some mounting brackets to secure it to the stud because I don’t trust that the caulk will hold.
