Oatey 34055 Plastic Access Panel, 6-Inch by 9-Inch, White

Very well made and worked perfect for the job I was doing!

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.

Installed with the proper steps this is a great product. I've ordered and installed five of them. To paint them, make sure you paint the two parts separately and give the paint time to cure before you work with it (as it will need to withstand some flexing). I used Benjamin Moore paint and it held more securely with some Killz primer, though the one I simply painted did wind up working out great after curing with a small touchup. In regard to folks who gummed it up, I'm not sure what they did. You wouldn't want to simply paint over it or (worse yet) roll over it, as that would fill the crevices with paint and obviously cause problems.The product does come with a slight bow to it so it won't necessarily lay perfectly flat against the wall. When I installed it with Liquid Nails I had to prop a 2x4 across the bowed portion and lean some drywall against it to keep in in place. That was a bit of an annoyance and might cause trouble for people if they don't have something to lean agains it. Or maybe they won't care about that detail. On one of them the door didn't quite fit in properly and I had to trim some excess plastic from inside where it hadn't poured into the mold quite right.Now installed and painted, though, they're all great and look as good as one could hope for.

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.

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!

Needed this to access an electrical raceway (soffit) that the contractor decided to bury for all my house circuits, going through my garage.Build: Not cheap plastic. It's about 1/8" thick and the frame is designed to prevent the panel from sinking in upon snapping into place. I was glad to see that it's made in U.S.A. as well, matching the quality. The surface is textured and will accept paint easily. The cover has optional knockouts on the inside for utilities. Also, the snap in cover and flange are designed to work backwards as well, so instead of having a trimmed flange and cover visible, it can be installed on the opposite side of the wall, leaving only the protruding frame for the cover to fit into. Clever. I'll attach pictures.Ergonomics: as with this type of access, you'll need to pry it open. Since it is plastic, I usually use the head of a key of something if similar shape to prevent damaging the surface. The size of the opening can easily fit your arm, as well.Installation can be a breeze with patience. A little construction adhesive on the backside of the flange will do just fine. Just make sure to apply good pressure to maintain a flush mounting.

Worked perfectly
