ABSTRACT:
A rotatable grommet for opening or closing access to a panel opening. The rotatable grommet is a C-shaped grommet having a grommet opening approximately the same size as the access area of a panel opening. The rotatable grommet includes a post that engages an arched slot formed in the panel. The ends of the arched slot define the open and closed positions for the rotatable grommet. The rotatable grommet includes a handle having handle protrusions that ease rotation of the rotatable grommet. At least one latch establishes friction between the rotatable grommet and the panel opening so that the rotatable grommet will not be inadvertently opened or closed.
