Does 110.26 apply to residential panels once they are closed up or does it apply only when the cover is removed?
 
I would say it applies to all panels, resi or not, regardless if they are open or not.

110.26 Spaces About Electrical Equipment. Sufficient
access and working space shall be provided and maintained
about all electrical equipment to permit ready and safe operation
and maintenance of such equipment.
 
and as to the second part of your question, 110.26 also states:

Distances shall be measured from the exposed live parts or from the enclosure or opening if the live parts are enclosed.

so the mesaurement in your case would be from the cover.
 
And now that that is settled, I am closing this thread. Forum rules do not permit us to assist a person who is not an electrician to perform electrical installation work. If I have misjudged the nature of this question, and if for example you are discussing a concern you have in a work-related situation, send me a private message to explain. I would be glad to reopen the thread, and post an apology for the delay and inconvenience.
