2. Use keyhole saw to cut out narrow horizontal slit in wall on each side of hole.
3. Measurement the hole and both narrow slits should equal diameter of lid so you can insert lid sideways into hole.
4. Now use awl to punch two holes in center of lid. Thread 12-inch piece of wire or string through holes.
5. Holding ends of wire. Slide lid through slit. Still holding wire, pull lid toward you until it’s flat against inside of wall.
