Best access panel for kitchen drywall remodel?
Doing a full kitchen remodel and need a couple of access panels in the drywall behind the sink and dishwasher for future plumbing access. Want something sturdy that won’t look cheap once painted. Plastic or metal? Any brands or models you’ve used that hold up well over the years?


I went with plastic reinforced ones because they’re lighter and easier to cut in without cracking the surrounding drywall. This wall access panel for drywall worked great for me – solid frame, no warping after a couple of years, and the door stays flush when closed. Installation was simple with the included screws, and it takes paint really well so it disappears on the wall. Definitely size it a bit larger than you think you need for easier access later.
