Karp's FGH Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum Hinged Access Door provides concealed access to building services while maintaining a consistent finished appearance. Manufactured from lightweight glass fiber reinforced gypsum, the FGH is designed to blend with surrounding wall and ceiling surfaces after installation and finishing.
Its hinged design provides convenient access for inspection and maintenance, while tapered and rounded edges help create a smooth transition into the surrounding finished surface. Suitable for new construction and retrofit projects, the FGH offers a discreet alternative to conventional metal access panels.
The FGH combines a gypsum access panel with a hinged door configuration, providing convenient access without requiring the entire panel to be removed.
Key features include:
Glass fiber reinforced gypsum construction
Lightweight door design
Tapered edges
Rounded edges
Offset cabinet hinge
Cylinder lock
Mounting holes
Designed for new and retrofit construction
Concealed appearance after installation and finishing
The FGH uses glass fiber reinforced gypsum to help the access door blend with surrounding finished surfaces.
Its offset cabinet hinge allows the door to swing open for service access, while the cylinder lock provides a locking option for controlled access.
The tapered and rounded edges are designed to support a clean finished appearance around the panel.
Unlike the standard GFRG model, which is designed specifically for drywall ceilings, the FGH is suitable for both wall and ceiling installations.
Typical applications include:
Commercial office interiors
Hotels and hospitality projects
Multi-family residential buildings
Institutional buildings
Finished drywall walls and ceilings
New construction and renovation projects
The FGH provides access to concealed plumbing, electrical, mechanical and other building services. Confirm the installation conditions and required service clearance before selecting the panel size.
The FGH is available in five standard door sizes. The required ceiling opening is 6 inches larger than the nominal door size in both dimensions.
| Door Size (H × W) | Opening Size (H × W) | Shipping Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 9 × 9 in. | 15 × 15 in. | 6 lbs. |
| 12 × 12 in. | 18 × 18 in. | 9 lbs. |
| 16 × 16 in. | 22 × 22 in. | 12 lbs. |
| 18 × 18 in. | 24 × 24 in. | 14 lbs. |
| 24 × 24 in. | 30 × 30 in. | 23 lbs. |
The specification drawing identifies the opening allowance as 6 inches beyond the door dimensions. Confirm the framing and opening requirements for the intended wall or ceiling installation before construction.

I needed a hinged access door that would work with a gypsum surface. I like having a purpose-designed option that provides convenient access while maintaining a clean appearance.
