Ceiling Trap Doors & Ceiling Access Panel
These Greenpro, Ecolabel Type 1 certified ceiling trap doors can be customized to any size, up to 18×8 ft, and even more. Especially the large format architectural ceiling access panels system is unique as this system has been designed for multi-shutters which are reinforced to be warp-free, safe and strong and for any kind of shutter size. These shutters scan be embedded with many finishing material to match the false ceiling, like Gypsum or MR (Moisture resistant Gypsum board), ACP panel, WPC, PVC baords, laminate or veneer finishes and can be made into a louvered access panel also for partial visibility above false ceiling. These are multi-shutter solutions with proprietary sliding hinge, so all the shutters can collect to the sides, giving a big opening.
IQUBX ceiling trap doors & access panels are a byword in interiors industry in India. Having been used in almost all use-cases – hospitals, Clinics, Hotels, Restaurants, Universities, schools & colleges, Airports, Malls, Offices and Co-working spaces and in residential projects – villas, apartments and complete high rise residential projects and many other interior typologies.

What is a Ceiling Trap Door / Ceiling Access Panel?
MEP services above false ceiling accessed by ceiling access panel
In every modern commercial or residential building, a dense network of critical MEP (Mechanical, Engineering and Plumbing) services is hidden above the false ceiling.
Services Hidden Above Your False Ceiling
A Ceiling trap door is used in false ceilings to access these critical equipment and services for maintenance, repairs and replacement. This ceiling access device needs to be sturdy and easily operable and of appropriate size.
Thus, a ceiling trap door — also called a ceiling access panel, ceiling access hatch, ceiling door, or aluminium inspection panel — is an openable panel installed in a false ceiling that allows maintenance access to the services concealed above it.
Thus a good, strong, customized size ceiling access panel system is indispensable for any contemporary interior.
The Problem
Why Existing Ceiling Access Panel Trap Doors Fail
Every building has a ceiling trap door. Most of them are failures within 2 years. 
With hardly any options in market, ceiling trap door is usually constructed with wooden or aluminium tubes, and is an eyesore, spoiling the look of the interiors. Over time, the shutters tend to sag and chip off as well.
❌ Locally Fabricated Wooden Trapdoors
- Warp, swell & misalign within 1–2 years
- Paint cracks, edges chip
- Visible framing, usually
- Large shutters bend
- Deteriorate faster in humid climates
❌ T-Profile Grid Ceiling Boards
- Unprofessional, exposed grid look
- Cannot carry large-format sizes
- Unsuitable for gypsum or POP ceilings
- Access disturbs the alignment of rest of grid ceiling
- Boards sag or pop out
❌ Standard Modular Aluminium TrapDoors
- Only fixed sizes: 300×300, 450×450, 600×600 mm
- Same design from every brand globally
- not designed for large sizes – Bend and warp in larger formats
- No customization of sizes for less quantity orders, limited size customization even for high volume
- Cannot accommodate diverse ceiling finish materials
The biggest gap in the market
When architects or contractors need a large ceiling trap door and that too with customized sizes- for access for HVAC machines, repair and replacement, multiple services in concentrated areas in service intensive interiors, which almost every contemporary interior has become, say 2400×1200 mm or 4500×1800 mm – no professional modular product solution exists except IQUBX, now branded as Skyhatch – one that can be customized to sizes even for a very small quantity order and one which can be delivered for any super big size. They are forced to either use wooden trapdoors (which fail fast) or custom-fabricate something that looks terrible.
A ceiling trap door in a false ceiling (whether gypsum board, POP, wooden etc) should provide a neat, lockable, finish-matched access opening that blends invisibly with the ceiling when closed, and is of appropriate big size, and if possible customized size, to allow full access for operation, maintaining, repair and replacement of machines & equipment, pipes, valves. ducts etc related to embedded services like HVAC (Heating, ventilation & air-conditioning), plumbing – water supply and drainage, fire detection and fighting – smoke and heat detectors above ceiling, sprinklers above ceiling, fire pipes and valves, electrical wire and cabling, data and telecom cables, lighting circuits and more.

Our Products
SkyHatch Ceiling Trap Door Models
Two precision-engineered models to cover every ceiling type, size requirement, and performance specification.
CTD025 – Large Format, State-of-Art
This innovative system is a strong and sturdy innovative system which is engineered to allow big size shutters and outer frames with provision for extra reinforcements and has been used for our Zenith+ Series. This system allows assembly of inner and outer frames with brackets and cleats without any need for crimping, thus allowing custom manufacturing and even onsite repair and modification. The section has been engineered for load bearing and has in-built sliding hinge mechanism allowing the shutters to be slided to one or both sides and leaving an obstruction free big opening in the ceiling to allow access.
The system is designed to take additional reinforcements with aluminium tube sections for extra big and heavier shutters, to prevent any warping or bending.
Due to big size, It comes with proprietary iqubx allen cam lock solution made from extruded aluminium and steel instead of conventional brass locks, which tend to fail in high load conditions. Another innovative feature is the specially designed allen lock cam lever bracket, which doesnt allow the shutter to be raised inside, keeping it locked in position with only a minor movement.

Proprietary design
CTD026 – Lean Format, single / double shutter, State-of-Art
This innovative system is designed for small size single shutter, or at the most double shutter access panel system with leaner sections for taking limited load. However its safety features and innovative sliding hinge which locks in the shutter to prevent it from disengaging or falling down is unique and unparalleled. It is strong and sturdy and has been used for our Planea Series – standard sizes offerings. This system allows assembly of inner and outer frames with brackets and cleats without any need for crimping, thus allowing custom manufacturing (only if required on special custom orders) and even onsite repair and modification. As a standard, it comes with push lock but can be ordered with safer and load-bearing iqubx allen cam locks.
