Edd, I’ve been pondering the same thing with my new distribution panel backing board. Right now it is patterned off the original which was simply screwed in place and each distribution panel had to be unscrewed and pulled out to access the wiring.
Over the years (yes, that long….) I’ve considered using a piano hinge and captive fasteners to be able to fold the distribution panels down for easier access. I’ve been semi-looking at some of the stuff <http://www.mcmaster.com/#captive-screws/=uv338e> from McMaster-Carr. Priced right for me.
