ABSTRACT:
A concealed services module comprising a frame, service outlets mounted on the frame and a picture assembly. The frame preferably is installed inside a wall so that only the service outlets are exposed, and the picture assembly is mounted over the outlets to conceal them. The picture assembly also may be mounted over existing service outlets in a wall. The picture assembly is slidably mounted for up and down movement, and includes a device such as a counterbalancing mechanism to retain it in the up position.
