Abstract
A work surface includes a grommet and door assembly that provides for routing of utility lines through an opening in the work surface. The door pivots in first and second opposite directions about first and second axes, respectively, to first and second open positions. Magnetic connectors retain the door during pivoting about the first and second axes, and also retain the door in a closed position.
