AccessPro LAP8 Magnetic Access Panel, Removable Cover, Mold Moisture & Water Resistant, Discreet Flush Mount, for Ceilings & Walls (8" x 8")

There is really no way around the need for access panels to plumbing, electrical, whatever. I have always hated that the options available are cheap looking plastic panels. They work, so I have always used them. This is actually a high-quality panel, that requires a bit more up-front work, but the final result looks so much better. I will use this to replace many of the plastic panels I have around the home.

Very well made. Will be nearly invisible once painted.I had several plastic access panels that work. However they look absolutely terrible and stand out. They also pop out easily and are very wavy/wobbly.I noticed this and thought it was worth a few hours of work to try out on my most obvious panel. This knocks it out of the park. It becomes nearly invisible with paint and the mechanism for removal is surprisingly ingenious. There are 4 powerful magnets at each corner but they are inset far enough that pushing on a corner will loft the corresponding opposite edge. This allows you just enough room to grab that corner and pull it away.The metal frame is solid and holds well in mid. I did add a couple screws for peace of mind but clearly its not needed. The lip works great to mid against and install was very easy.If it wasn't so pricey I would swap out all my panels. Oddly enough it's not that much more expensive than a crappy plastic panel. Worth it if you haven't already bought panels.

Nice looking and once installed leaves a nice finished look to the wall. My only complain is I wish they came in larger sizes. We have to install several plumbing access panels into the wall of a master bedroom closet and it would have beed great if they came in more than 2 sizes.

This little piece was very easy to install. The mud process was just like a metal corner bead. The little door does pop off with a little bit of effort. I don't love how I'm supposed to put a sticker on my wall or near the furnace. It doesn't seem very convenient but it does have instructions for future use. Apparently, the red stickers are also supposed to stay on the wall. I don't love that and it draws attention. It would be nice if they were silver, clear, white, or any other color! Clear would be preference because then I can paint this any color to match my wall and it doesn't have to be white. My walls luckily are white, but the red dots are ridiculous. The door fits on just beautifully and I will forget about the stickers. The access panel is pretty flush and is hardly noticeable on my white walls. I was able to also paint over this as if it were part of the wall.The inside corners are metal but they aren't too terribly sharp. The panel sits in just snug and doesn't fall off.

This access panel cover provides a flush surface and easy access to plumping in my bathroom. It was easy to install and easy to blend in with the surrounding wall. It’s the perfect size and looks great.

creates a very nice cover to get to electrical/plumbing/cable behind drywall. The lid is a cementitious fiberboard material, not just regular drywall so it more durable. It's easy to install with minimal drywall skilled. Cut the hole in the wall, screw the plate in, put some drywall tape over the metal flaps then smooth it out with 2-3 coats of mud ,sanding between coats then match the texture with the stuff that comes in a can (test it on a spare cardboard box until the texture looks like you want it to look then apply it to the wall).

Installed this in minutes for my basement so I could have access to the water shutoff valve. Works great and the magnetic panel is perfect. Highly recommend

The access panel, when mudded into the wall properly, just disappears into the wall The panel itself has the same texture as the surrounding sheetrock. So, when you paint is to match the wall it virtually disappears. My other access panel look hideous compared to this one. I think I will be replacing the old ones with this type of panel. I like this a lot.
