I have a vertical piece of plywood (about 1/3 sheet) bolted onto a
wood frame structure. There is storage behind the panel, but to
access it I need to remove all of the bolts before removing the panel.
Slow!

Anyone have ideas on a faster method that would hold the panel
securely in place? Hinges won't work because of clearance issues.

One idea (not a good one) is to use U-bolts attached to the structure,
with the loop of the bolt passing through slots in the plywood. Then
a wedge could be inserted between the protruding loop and plywood
surface to hold everything in place. Simply knock the wedges out to
pull the panel down. Aesthetically not the nicest...I'd rather stick
with the existing bolts.

I'm hoping there are some specialty hardware products that might do a
better job. Any ideas?

Magnets. Any hardwarestore has them.
