What is a ceiling trap door?
A trapdoor, or trap door as per Wikipedia, is a sliding or hinged door, flush with the surface of a floor, roof, or ceiling, or in the stage of a theater. A hatch, an opening which may also be in a wall and need not be flush with the surface, is similar. In some cases either name is applicable.
A small door in a wall, floor or ceiling used to gain access to equipment is called an access hatch or access door.
Ceiling Trap doors are important components of a modern interior
In modern contemporary interiors, access hatch or ceiling trap door is indispensable. The plethora of services carried over the false ceiling in a modern interior can be overwhelming.
Ceiling trap door is used in false ceilings to access critical equipment for service, maintenance, and repairs. These services include electrical circuits – wires & cable, in conduit pipes and overhead raceways. Data cables, wiring, and cabling for FAP, access control, CCTV etc. are also carried inside ceiling. HVAC system including machines, ducting, copper piping, are also located above the ceiling.
All these services need access from time to time for maintenance, repair, resetting, replacement, monitoring of equipment etc. A ceiling trap door system is used to access these services with ease.
Available Ceiling Trapdoor systems may spoil looks of interiors
Usually, a ceiling trap door panel is an eyesore in false ceilings and mars the aesthetics. Its prominent edges stick out like a sore thumb, while the support frame is not sturdy enough. Besides, the edge finish detail and non-uniform grooving also leave a lot to be desired. Trapdoor panels may sag, its edges may get damaged and handling may leave the panel dirty.
Traditionally, ceiling trap door is constructed with some wooden members or aluminium tubes or grid ceiling members supported in the ceiling framework on which an access panel is rested. Sometimes, hinges are added on one side, to make it openable from one side. The panel which does not rest on the frame is supported by Allen key cleats which help the door to hang on the frame. But the finishes of such crude systems are not always up to the mark.
Some fabricated designed systems are also available, which can give good finishes with uniform grooves. However, they are restricted by the available sizes, are difficult to fabricate or modify on site, and are difficult to source.

IQUBX CTD-JB023, CTD-JB023H, CTD-JB022 & CTD-JB022H modular aluminium ceiling Trapdoor system
These patent access door systems are made up of state of the art aluminium extrusions material which can be anodized or powder coated or used in the raw finish as well. They are strong and sturdy. These Trapdoors have the biggest advantage of retrofitting that means it can be easily installed in any existing ceiling without any hassle of creating a completely new ceiling system. Hence, it complements the aesthetics of interior space. They can be used for POP false ceiling with amazing ease, as they are fitted from below due to flange system.
They come in essentially two variations.
Basic CTD-JB022 & 23 trap doors have the access panel door hung by chains and supported by multiple allen keys. One can perform small tasks by just opening the locks and keeping the trapdoor hung with the chains. Or for major tasks, it can be open from two chains and can be hung with two chains only to provide proper access to the ceiling. And the best advantage of this access ceiling trapdoor is that the trapdoor can be completely removed from the ceiling to perform major tasks with AC ducts or piping or any electrical work.
The four-chain hanging system provides a better functionality with bigger sizes of a trapdoor. And helps in transferring a load of trapdoor directly to the roof rather than putting a load on the ceiling in the open condition of the trapdoor.

This Innovative hinge gives it a strong frame with an amazing aesthetic look. These sections can support very heavyweight trapdoors, thus supports sizes even larger than “5ft X 5ft” for bigger space and service openings for AC vents and Duct systems.
