I had a second story shower leak. Thankfully it only damaged my ceiling in a closet below it when it was found. Figured I’d do an access door in case it leaked again and to avoid trying to match the ceiling drywall (both paint color and pattern wise. I suck at drywall repairs). This was the perfect size. Width wise it was exactly what I needed and length wise it covered entire area that had water damage that needed cut out. Plus it was the best price I had found. These panels are not as cheap as you’d think they would be. Super easy install and works like it should. Mounting in ceiling wasn’t an issue at all, but I did cut the hole so it would fit a little tight. I used some general adhesive caulking but probably could have gotten away with using nothing if I had wanted to.

Is glued to the wall. Plastic seems like it may be brittle. Serves the purpose though.

Got this for our water main valve cover in our basement. Supper easy to install and looks very nice with easy access for opening.

This was easy to install. The door opens easily when needed. Solid construction.

This panel was a nice size and easy to install. Definitely need this to access your plumbing behind your bathtub/shower. Can be painted if need to blend into an already painted wall. Price was reasonable as well.

Product worked perfect for access panel behind a shower valve!

Mine were so late I ended up purchasing new ones at Lowes. I didn't realize you need to glue these into place. This is difficult in a ceiling application. The ones from Lowes were twice the cost but snap right into place. The extra cost is well worth the cost of glue and labor.

works great

muy practico y con seguridad

J'ai installé au plafond pour accès à la plomberie sous ma baignoire. Trappe discrète, suffisamment solide, pouvant être peinte. Couvercle amovible, très pratique à enlever au besoin et facile à réinstaller. Bonne dimension pour y glisser la tête et le haut du corps lorsque nécessaire. Je recommande ce produit.

Buena calidad y tiempo de entrega, a un buen precio

should be a wider flange to install, need to cut tight and silicone in place
