Abstract
An access panel employing an expanded metal panel having its peripheral edges seated in framing strips of U-shaped cross section is assembled by the use of a pair of opposed corner plates of a relatively soft, non-metallic material formed with recesses which enclosingly receive and orient the end portions of framing strips at each corner of the panel. Fastening members, such as rivets or nut and bolt units, fixedly clamp the opposed corner plates against the opposite sides of the panel-framing strip assembly.
