Can anyone suggest the best way for me to cut an access door (maybe

I know I can just drill a hole, then get a saber saw and cut the hole.
But I would prefer not to leave a hole. My hope is to be able to
"re-attach" the cut out part in some fashion after I fix the phone
line and make it look as nice as possible. That is, (a) the thinnest,
straightest possible cut, (b) the least damage to the surrounding
laminate, and (c) a good way to re-attach it afterwards.

Thanks



Have you thought about fishing a new phone line without cutting the back
panel at all?

I think that would be a lot more work. It's in a home office on the
second floor on an interior wall.

I need the access panel anyway to retrieve pens and pencils and gum
drops that fall back there! ;-)
