INSTALLATION STEPS

Would you like to see how the FlexiSnap magnetic access panel is installed in drywall? Here are the various steps:

CUTTING TEMPLATE

Use the template provided and follow the instructions below.

  1. Cut the template along the lines corresponding to the desired opening.
  2. Apply that template on the wall and ceiling with the aid of a level.
  3. Trace the panel opening and cut the drywall.
  4. The opening must be perfectly straight, otherwise the panel will not be squared once installed. Existing opening: adjust the height and width of the opening, if necessary. New opening: use the proposed dimension for your product or cut the surface to the desired dimension. Non-standard opening: See the step entitled “Frame adjustment”. Note: The opening must be at a 2 inch (51 mm) minimum distance from the adjacent wall.

REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
  1. If placed too close to electronic equipment, the polymer corners, containing a magnet, can create an interference. (3 inch – 76 mm magnetic field).
  2. If you would like to paint the panel or cover it with wallpaper, it is recommended that you clean and lightly sand the surface first.
  3. To open the panel, insert a fingernail or a small, flat screwdriver into the corner identified by a triangle. (image 1).
  4. Cendrex guarantees the panels against defects in material and workmanship for the duration of the product life.

PERFECT ADJUSTMENT

The FlexiSnap frame can be extended in height and width to perfectly fit the dimensions of the opening. Adjust its size with the help of the installation template provided on the back of the packaging. Hold it in place with the help of the folding tabs. No screws or studs are necessary.

Once the frame is in place, simply insert the metal panel and you’re done! The magnets located on the four corners of the frame will solidly hold the panel in place while allowing you to easily remove it when you need to access the wires or pipes hidden behind it.

READY TO BE PAINTED EXTERIOR FINISH

The metal panel is coated with a high quality, white powder primer, allowing you to paint it the color of your choice or to cover it with wallpaper so that it will blend into your decor. You will get a professional looking finish for a fraction of the price, without any effort!
