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?

Would those "ply clips" they use to hang hurricane panels in window
frames work for you.


Hinge it at the top. WW
