Access panel in basement utility room?
Finishing part of the basement and need access to main water line shutoffs. Any recommendations on type/size that won’t look out of place?

In utility areas I like larger panels – 16×20 or so – because you sometimes need both hands in there. Smaller ones are frustrating. I installed a decent-sized one last fall and it’s perfect for reaching valves and pressure regulator. Metal construction, strong latch, takes paint nicely: https://www.amazon.com/Access-Panel-Drywall-Plumbing-Durable/dp/B085617TBL?tag=contractorhub-20 Looks professional and has held up to damp basement conditions without any rust or warping. Much better than screwing on a plywood scrap.
