Secret fixing removable board to wall. (2026 Update)

Use Buttonfix see

OP Only 10 years ago, so not a record.

The problem with this type of hidden fixing is that you have to know it is there and what type it is or else someone removing the panel in the future is likely to start using brute force and destroying it.

I've found that using Neodymium magnets on one side and a steel plate on the other side works well and the brute force method less likely to do damage.

I would quite like a push-push latching type fitting for a tiled concealed cistern panel, like those latches you get on micro SD card sockets. You push the panel in and it pops out, enough to grab hold of it and remove. To refit, position the panel in place and push it in. Does any fitting like this exist? It looks like 'push to open latches' might be:

Whichever way, I think you need some documentation that the panel is there in the first place and how to remove it. It took forever to find where the panel was originally, as it had been grouted in and looked identical to all the other tiling.

For removing panels and kick boards that are push fitted on I find one of these useful, cheap on Amazon

I have one of those, but it's tricky in this case where there are textured tiles. It's difficult to get a good enough vacuum seal.
