A short duration vibration during climb that is noted by both the cabin and cockpit crew is assumed to be caused by a hydraulic service panel access door that, during the after landing inspection, was found to have partially separated from the B767-300.

Narrative:
During climb out, just as a turn was initiated during the climb, a minor vibration was felt for approximately 1 second. I commented to the first officer that it felt like a cargo container had shifted as I had experienced many times before on the B767. The flight attendants called to report that they had felt the vibration as well. The remainder of the flight was conducted within normal parameters. After landing, the hydraulic access door/panel was found to have partially separated from the aircraft.
