ABSTRACT:
An access panel for installation over an opening in panelling of a wall or ceiling of a structure includes a plate having two opposite side edges and a positioning flange extending rearwardly from a rear surface of the plate, this flange being located inwardly from adjacent edges. The panel includes two elongate clamping elements, each extending towards a respective one of the side edges from a central region of the plate attached to a rear side of the plate. Each clamping element is made of a resilient springy material so that an outer end portion can be pulled away from the plate during installation. These elements are used to secure the panel to opposite sides of the opening. Preferably each clamping element has a special profile to enable fast and easy installation over the opening.
