Putting access panel in kids’ bathroom for plumbing. Need something strong but with a latch that small hands can’t easily open. Any recommendations?

Kids + access panels = disaster waiting to happen. I chose a metal one with a magnetic door plus an optional child-safety twist lock (screwdriver needed to release). Sturdy build, no sharp edges, and the finish resists fingerprints. Hasn’t been opened by accident once. This model works great in our bathroom:

12×12 size. Magnetic is strong enough for normal use but lock adds peace of mind.
