Square door inlets, or outlet covers, are installed in many homes, for many vacuum brands. They have not changed much in decades. A trim cover is available during checkout and is useful for covering the marks on the wall where the inlet sat. Note that the ivory colored valve is no longer available, almond is not as a dark as ivory, it is more of an off-white. These inlets can be installed opening up or opening down. If you wish to have a different style door you can choose from any of the rectangular basic low voltage inlet cover plates.
