24" x 24" BA-GRG-HG-RC-TL Hinged Radius Corner with Touch Latch - Gypsum Access Panel

The 24" x 24" BA-GRG-HG-RC-TL Hinged Radius Corner with Touch Latch Gypsum Access Panel is designed for commercial interiors where access panels should blend seamlessly into finished drywall.

Made from glass fiber reinforced gypsum with a concealed touch latch and a European angle hinge, it delivers a flush, paint-ready surface with softly rounded radius corners for a seamless architectural finish.

Its tapered edges are ready for joint compound and texture, so the panel blends into the surrounding drywall for near-invisible access wherever service points are needed at regular intervals.

Why Choose 24" x 24" BA-GRG-HG-RC-TL Hinged Radius Corner with Touch Latch?

  • Seamless Drywall Finish: Made from glass fiber reinforced gypsum with tapered edges ready for joint compound and texture, so it creates a nearly invisible access point that preserves the appearance of finished drywall walls and ceilings.
  • Concealed Touch Latch: A hidden touch latch opens the panel with a simple push, keeping the face clean and free of visible hardware.
  • Hinged Radius Corners: A European angle hinge and softly rounded radius corners maintain a clean architectural appearance while keeping the panel captive for easy reuse.
  • ASTM E84 Performance: Meets ASTM E84 standards for zero fuel contribution, flame spread, smoke, and combustion.
  • Lightweight and Textureable: Lightweight and easily textured for both new and retrofit construction across a wide range of interiors.

What to Know About Rough Opening and Installation Requirements?

Required Rough Opening

The required opening depends on the selected panel size. For example, a 9" × 9" panel requires a 15" × 15" opening, while a 24" × 24" panel requires a 30" × 30" opening. Confirm the opening dimensions listed for your selected size before cutting.

Installation Notes

Frequently Asked Questions About GFRG Gypsum Access Panels

1. Is this panel fire-rated?

This is a non-rated assembly. It does meet ASTM E84 for zero fuel contribution, flame spread, smoke, and combustion, but for a fire-rated opening, specify a door tested and labeled for that rating.

2. What is a GFRG access panel?

GFRG stands for glass fiber reinforced gypsum. The panel is made to blend into drywall walls and ceilings with a paint-ready surface, so access points nearly disappear into the finish.

3. When should I choose a gypsum access panel instead of a metal access door?

Choose the BA-GRG-HG-RC-TL when maintaining the appearance of a finished drywall is a priority. Metal access doors are generally better suited for applications where durability or security is the primary concern.

4. How does the touch latch work?

A concealed touch latch releases the panel with a simple push, keeping the face clean and free of visible knobs or handles.

5. Why buy gypsum access panels from Best Access Doors instead of a general marketplace?

Best Access Doors offers one of the industry's widest selections of access doors and panels from leading manufacturers, making it easier to compare products, find the right specifications, and source the best solution for your project.
