Once you've built your first MagnaPanel access panel, you don't need another spade bit — you need more magnets. The Contractor Kit is exactly that: the same four high-strength magnets, four lag bolts, and fast-setting epoxy packet as the Starter Kit, without paying again for the boring bit you already have. It's the kit you buy by the handful so the access-panel spot on the next job is a non-event.
It works two ways. Grab one to build an additional flush magnetic panel anywhere you need hidden access, or add its magnets to a single larger panel to increase holding power — each kit boosts capacity in 30 lb increments, so heavier tiled or solid-surface panels stay locked tight. The installation is identical to the system you already know: countersunk holes, lag bolts, magnets, and an epoxy transfer to line the panel up perfectly, then adjust the bolts until it sits flush.
If you're new to the system, start with the MagnaPanel Starter Kit — it includes the reusable spade bit you'll use on every panel after — then keep Contractor Kits on the truck as your refill. Both work over cement backer board and tile, plywood, solid surface, and masonry.
Pro tip: For a large or heavy panel, add a second set of magnets toward the middle of the span rather than only at the corners — center support is what stops a big tiled panel from bowing or sagging away from the wall over time.
