In the basement, there’s now a 12x20 inch hole from replacing the main water line shutoff. Want something tough that can handle occasional bumps and still look okay.
For basement utility areas, a heavy-duty plastic access panel is the go-to. It’s impact-resistant and won’t rust in damp conditions. This wall hole cover has good thickness and is used by many homeowners for water meter or valve access. Mounts with screws into studs for security but pops off when needed. Paint it and it looks intentional rather than a rough patch.
