It's fairly simple. Once the door is hinged open, gently bend it in the middle so the top and bottom pull in slightly, allowing you to remove one of the door pins from the frame hole. Just be gentle and cautious, keeping an eye on what's going on and resisting the urge to force it. It all comes back to the same thing - Insert the lower pin into the frame's bottom hole, bring the upper pin close to the top hole, flex / bow the door slightly, just enough to slip the top pin into the top hole, and close the door.
Thank you for contacting us, Customer! If you're referring to the opening side, yes, the panel can be mounted in any direction. Best wishes, Andrew, Bozzon Customer Service Guru

Selected User Reviews For Access Panel for Drywall - 4 x 6 inch - Wall Hole Cover - Access Door - Plumbing Access Panel for Drywall - Heavy Durable Plastic White
This is fantastic! As a general contractor who works on a variety of high-end commercial access doors, This door is ideal for gaining access to areas that aren't frequently used. The material is thinner plastic, and the hinges aren't the best, but if you're installing in a wall, this isn't a problem. It's perfect, with a clean appearance and the ability to be painted. If you need a heavy-duty unit with a piano hinge or if you need it to seal off whatever you're covering, this is the unit for you. Expect to spend at least ten dollars. (For this specific panel size) 20 times more. This was installed on an inner garage wall to separate an addition with no other access than a garage door with an opener. If the electricity was turned off. This worked perfectly for me when I needed to manually open the door.
This taller model had to be used to replace a 2x2 access panel. Because the old one had a wider flange than the new one, some drywall touch-up was required. Wish the flange was the same width as the old marks; it would have covered them and made the job much easier. If you're just getting started with a hole, this isn't a problem. The flange that goes into the opening interfered with cross braces in a few places, so I modified it with a palm sander to remove 1/8" here and there, allowing the frame to sit flush against the wall. It took some time and effort, but I'm pleased with the end result.
In my travel trailer, I used this access door to replace a useless "closet" with a medicine cabinet. Cut to size using the template, reinforced the wall frame with 1X2" boards, and finished the hole with white duct tape (not professional, but watertight). Liquid Nails clear caulk sealant was used to seal the cabinet door (which was unseen). Perfect! I'll look for a 14" handle later, but it'll be easy to open even without it.
They should change the dimensions to the correct size because if the wall cutout is larger than 5 x 7 inches, it may cause a problem. However, I was successful in making it work. Good product, but the overall size is smaller than advertised.
Easy installation with dimensions cut to the prescribed opening for the access panel, and very durable quality for the price. Well- made it very easy to get to my shower's water supply and plumbing.
This product came highly recommended by a handyman friend of mine. He put the panels up on the back wall of my closet, which is also the wall where the bathroom sinks are located. The panels make it simple to access the plumbing in the event that a problem arises in the future. I was worried about their durability because they were plastic, but he assured me that he had used them before and had never had a problem. When you need to access your plumbing, it makes life a lot easier.
Plastic appears to be easily breakable, and the passage of time will only exacerbate the problem. On the hinges, there isn't much material. It takes a few attempts to properly install it in the wall. Place too much material on the latches and too little on the hinges.
If your walls aren't completely plum, you may need to trim away some drywall. It's paintable, but it might take a couple of coats because it seems to soak up the first one. Chalk around the edges for any gaps or to keep someone from trying to peel it off. The door does stick from time to time when opening, but we won't open it unless it's absolutely necessary. Also, you'll need a flathead to open it, so I wish the openings were more pronounced. Some people, such as myself, have fat fingers and can't get their fingers into the openings to open it.
