Premier Access Doors 12 x 12 Flush Mount Steel Access Panel for Drywall, Powder Coated White

In my search for an access door for bathtub plumbing during some remodeling, I’ve considered the variety of plastic and metal doors.The less expensive plastic doors did not appear to adequately fasten to the drywall. Seemed they just snapped in place. Also, the plastic doors likely would not hold up when placed in a hallway like in my situation. I understand walls get bumped when moving furniture or kids scuffling.Here’s what I like about this metal door. The frame has holes for fasteners, and these holes are beyond the drywall in the back of the frame. Meaning I can place wood behind the drywall and secure the door to the wood rather than relying on drywall, which is a non-structural component, to hold the door in place.Second feature I like is the sturdy door latch that secures the door closed.This door installs with very little protrusion from the wall.

Fit and finish were very good for the price, the screwdriver activated latch is easy to use and securely holds the door closed, heavy enough gauge steel to not be easily dented, unit was square and held its shape well, I would purchase this product again.

Well made, sturdy and nice looking access panel. Recommended.

Great paint (looks as good as powder coat) and the unit is heavy duty!

This rather expensive panel came with a glued-shut lock. I could not open it by force, so returned it. Where is teh QC?

Installed this door in just a few minutes. Fit and finish is good and matches well to the existing trim off the room. Door can be painted if needed. Would definitely purchase again.

It was as expected.

It was very strong and quality item
