At my wits end, any ideas on where to find a hatch?

I have hit an empasse on the scene I'm currently working on, and need a bit of help.  I need a hatch.  Nothing complex or fancy, just a door in the floor so my characters can get from the room they are currently locked in down into the level below them.  I've already got the next room chosen and ready to go, but I haven't been able to find anything that will work for a hatch in the floor of this environment.  I've even tried going into Hexagon and making one, but I don't know Hexagon at all and trying to learn it just made me want to throw my computer through the window.  I got as far as having the frame for the hatch to attach to, but when I started trying to work on the next section the program just turned off 90% of the commands and wouldn't let me do anything but work on one single face.  I know there are products out there that have exactly what I'm looking for that I can pull out and add to the environment I've got already, but now that I need one I can't find it anywhere.  Does anyone have any recomendations?

    Code 66  is Totte on the forums.

    How have I never seen that set?  That's right up my alley, for general use not just this one scene.  A bit out of the budget for a single environment at the moment unfortunately.  I know I have environments that have something that will work, I just can't find any of them at the moment for some reason.

    Totte (Code 66) does make some useful items.  He is one of the few PAs that I know do regularly check the Product Suggestions forum to see if there is anything there he can use as inspiration for a product.

    Yeah, I like his work, I have several already and quite a few others in my wish list already.  I just somehow managed to miss that room completely

    There is a separate hatch prop, with hideable or extendable ladder, in maclean's https://www.daz3d.com/home-one-house

    You could also create it using primitives. This was created with five cubes in a couple of minutes. You use a lot more primitives to add details.
