Most Liked Positive Review

Works perfectly and install easily

This access door was the perfect size for the job. It installs easily, even if your sheetrock opening is not perfectly square. The cover sits quite flush to the wall and looks just fine. A great product and a great value for the price. Also note: Supply House was the only vendor that enough of these in stock for our needs (we needed 12 of them)and shipped them the same day.

Most Liked Negative Review

Does the job

Just beware that the photo is not of the 4" x 6" product. The edge is much larger in proportion to the opening. The photo must be of a much larger product. I did need to sand the latch down a bit to make it easier to open. It does the job though. I only need to open it twice a year to access a water valve. Couldn't find anything else that looked OK on the ceiling. I primed it and painted it to match the ceiling. Looks good.

Neat and easy to install.

Easy access to the attic to do some electrical work. I don't have to crawl across the entire attic to get to the gable and fix an exhaust fan. Looks neat and almost invisible, now it's painted to match the ceiling.

Sturdy and well made

This access door is exactly what you want. The door is hinged so the door will not get lost and the flange is large enough to be glued or screwed in position.

Worth the money

I needed a 24 x 24 access panel and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for one that you just set into the cutout. THANK GOD for Supply House because I did t have to spend a ton and was able to get exactly what I wanted.

Sufficient

I have not installed the panel access door yet, but I can tell it should solve my problem. It's a bit more fragile than I expected but due to the location of the wall, it should last reasonably.

The product was as advertised--maybe better--A+++

I thought the product was lightweight-yet durable. It was aesthetically pleasing and installed easily. The flange was a nice touch to hide the cut imperfections a bit and give it a trimmed up finsided look.

I would definitely buy this product again

I bought an 18" x 18" plastic access panel from SupplyHouse after cutting into a wall so a plumber could gain access to bathroom plumbing fixtures. The panel I purchased fit my opening and snapped into place easily with no nails, screws, or glue. If a plumber ever needs access to the plumbing again (hopefully not!), access will simply require only opening the door. In addition, the color finish of the panel nearly matches the existing wall color so it blends well with the wall.

Hi Lori! Yes, the door should be flush to the frame when closed.

Q: is the door hinged, or does it merely come off when snapped open?

My door was not hinged. It is simply a press in fit that is fairly tight.

Q: What is the next size up that is 14" wide? My hole was cut at 16" high, just a bit to high for the 14 x 14 to cover all the hole.

Q: how tough is the plastic? I want to install it on the floor of my recording studio (low foot traffic). I got a raised floor with an opening for cables and I need a finished look.

The manufacturer does not recommend using this door on the floor in areas with potential foot traffic.

Sadly I don't think it will be strong enough for continuous walking on.

This access door is definitely not going to hold up to foot traffic.

Was this review helpful to you?

I don't think it is designed to be stepped on. And I doubt low foot traffic really matters. It would only have to be stepped on once the right way to break, so whether it takes a month or a year before that happens, what's the difference. Metal access doors are available and they are probably stronger, although I doubt they are designed to withstand foot traffic. Contact the manufacturer to find out. If you can't find any commercial access door strong enough, then make your own. It isn't too hard. You could make it out of plywood with a simple hinge. Cover the plywood door with the same finish as the rest of the floor.

Q: I am finding the door very difficult to open. Am I doing something wrong? There is a slot that I assume is for inserting and twisting something like a screwdriver. I eventually got the door open but I believe continued opening this way will damage the plastic.

That is the method to use, make sure you pry in the correct spot and use the thinest device you can find. Laurence

Q: Two questions: 1: How does the frame attach to my ceiling or wall? I cannot tell from the manual. Is the product paintable?

The doors are installed by applying caulking adhesive to the back of the frame and pressing into place. They come standard with a white finish, but can be painted to match the surrounding area.

Cut hole the size of door and it fit right into space, but we also fastened to wall with screws and drywall anchors(?). Product is lightweight and it worked great. It is paintable.
