hinged frame

Swinging panel mount

A hinged frame is a frame attached to a surface by hinges, allowing it to swing open like a door.

The term appears most often in contexts where access is needed behind the frame—a hinged picture frame concealing a safe, or a hinged panel providing entry to mechanical systems: The hinged frame swung open to reveal a hidden compartment.
