Low point drains

Taking two screws out every time I need to open the low point drains is a pain. Is there anything out there that can be installed to eliminate the hassle? Thought about using cable releases, the same as installed for sewer and storage tanks but I can't find any short ones. Ideas are welcome.
Thanks

Maybe a hinge like on a cabinet door!

Depends where they are. Ours were a bit hidden beneath the dinette. I just cut an access hole in the panel small enough for the hand to fit through, but the location was well out of sight.

How often do you use the drains. I only use them once at the end of the season.

Steve,

This is what I did to easily gain access to the low point drains and in-house water filer via the access panels in the basement storage area.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Mine has a pretty cool hidden trap door on the shower side. The trim piece lifts up and off to gain access. Stumbled on it myself, the dealer made no mention of it.

Mine have a Luan piece over the hole that is covered with the same fuzzy carpet material. It is held in place by 2 screws. I just leave one screw off and the cover can be rotated open easily to open or close the drains..
