Large access panel for HVAC in closet?
Building a closet around some HVAC ductwork and need a larger access panel (at least 14x14) in the drywall. Regular small ones won’t cut it. Looking for something strong enough for occasional technician access without breaking. Suggestions?

For bigger openings you definitely need something reinforced. I went with a 14x14 plastic panel that has a rigid frame and doesn’t flex. The wall access panel for drywall (they have larger sizes) handled frequent openings by the HVAC guy without any issues. Installs flush, takes paint well, and the latch keeps it closed tightly so no dust leaks out. Much better than the flimsy ones at big box stores.
