We needed access in case of leaks and this works perfectly. Might buy another for the tubs water source.

This was really easy and quick to install. Perfect for access through a closet to our shower hardware. Easy to open and close but not loose at all. Paintable so not super noticable even though it's in a closet. Nice product at a good price.

$10 to my door, made in the States. It’s a plastic panel, not much to mess up there. The instructions say to use a pencil, or similar, to trace the shape for the cut out. No pen that I had would allow the shape to be traced due to the thickness of the pencil and the interference of the lip or the panel. I used a scribe, which I think is a better option anyhow. Easy to install, just make sure your stud finder isn’t junk.

I used this to make a port to my bathroom plumbing. Works great, cut the hole and added the valves I needed. Then just used a little silicone, and glued this panel over the hole. Looks great and is easy to access the valves when needed. Price was great as well!

I couldn't find an access panel of the size I needed to fit a peculiar bulkhead in my basement where the cleanout for my drain stack for the house goes at any local hardware stores, this fit the bill and was reasonably priced.The instructions state to use construction adhesive in the installation but I found this unnecessary. Rather than cutting a hole in the drywall to the size the instructions specified I traced around the inner flange of the panel with a pencil after having placed it against the wall and using a small level to make sure it wasn't going to end up crooked. Then I used a utility knife to score the paper on the drywall just inside of the trace line and a drywall saw to make the final cuts. I used my utility knife afterwards to slowly fine tune the size of the cut until I could just shove the flange of the panel into the opening for a good friction fit which worked fine.The panel itself is not fancy by any means, but it's not ugly either. Be aware that the door is not hinged, it snaps into place (and requires a lot of force, really, to do so). You'll need a flat head screwdriver or some other prying tool to pop it out if you actually glue the frame in but with my method you can kind of just pull the whole thing out of the wall too which might be easier in the end. I would have liked a painted metal panel instead and the description isn't super clear about what it's made from but I had assumed it would be plastic based on the price.I may paint it, I may not, but painting it will require an investment in a plastic primer which kind of doubles the cost. If you don't use a plastic primer the paint likely won't stay on it well enough to survive any kind of future handling.

We had our homes old style closet water shut off value replaced. It was the original 'turn' kind that do not work at all. We had it changed out to a standard ball value with level. After that work was all done I cut the sheet rock to fit and glued this into place. You'll want something heavy duty like liquid nails to have the best mount of this panel to the wall. Mind you that after this is installed you will need a screwdriver or something to pry the access cover off. A great product, recommended.

This is my second access panel I have purchased. I used the first for access to a plug behind a corner cabinet in my remodeled kitchen. By code you must have access to electrical outlets, and this allowed me to keep access, at the same time having a clean look inside the cabinet. The second panel is used in the basement as an access hole to pipes in the remodeled kitchen. Instead of repairing the drywall, I installed this so I could keep access in the event something would need to be changed or accessed, since the hole was under the kitchen sink. It blends very well with the ceiling and so far no one has noticed unless I pointed it out. The ceiling is painted flat white.The panel has a bevel around the opening so your hole doesn't have to be perfect, and a simple bit of adhesive (I used Liquid Nails) on the backside of the bevel, sliding it in the hole will make it look very professional and secure the bezel to the opening.. The insert that covers the opening fits very tightly, so it will not come off by accident, and might even require a screwdriver or similar device to open the access hole. This can be install on a ceiling without worrying about the insert falling out. The insert can be difficult to place back in the panel surround since it fits tightly, and once it seats, it "clicks" in.I will continue to turn to Oatey Access Panels when I have the need, especially during a bathroom remodel in the future, so I can access any pipes around the tube if needed.If you have to cut in to drywall, this is a great alternative to repairing the drywall, and it gives you the convenience of future access if needed.
