Select your size:

The sizes shown below refer to the opening needed to install the hatch. We recommend making the opening 1–3mm larger to allow for easier installation. Sizes are listed as width x height, with the hinge on the height side. The hatch frame sits behind the opening and needs at least 30mm of clearance around it. The frame is 20mm deep, with an extra 40mm where the mini latches stick out at the back.

Why It Works

Sits Flush. Stays Hidden.

  • Mounts neatly behind 12.5mm plasterboard — no bulges, no bumps

  • Ultra-slim but strong aluminium frame

  • Paint or wallpaper straight over it — no weird edges or clashes

Ceilings or Walls? Both.

  • Works anywhere plasterboard does — walls, ceilings, risers, you name it

  • Ideal for residential, commercial, or fit-out projects that need clean access

  • Installs quick with self-tapping screws — no glue, no gimmicks

  • Not suitable for tiled surfaces — for that, check out our Techno, Classic, or Universal models

Push-to-Open. No Handles, No Hassle.

  • One press, and you’re in. Smooth, simple, tool-free access

  • German mini-latches keep it secure without the faff

  • No more hunting for keys, cups, or custom tools

Tough Where It Counts

  • Welded aluminium frame = strength without the weight

  • Fitted with Knauf moisture-resistant plasterboard as standard

  • Handles everyday use, humidity, and repainting without warping or flaking

Forget about cheap plastic hatches that scream “DIY.” This is the real deal — clean lines, pro fit, no compromise.

Please note that this product is non-fire-rated, general purpose access hatch intended for use in standard plasterboard walls and ceilings only.  Not suitable for installation within fire-resistant barriers or emergency escape routes.  No representation is made that the products comply with fire, acoustic, or load-bearing British orEuropean standards.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW VIDEO

3D MODEL OVERVIEW

What type of walls or ceilings is the Standard Hatch designed for?
The Standard Hatch is designed specifically for 12.5mm plasterboard (drywall) surfaces. It’s also compatible with gypsum fiber, plywood, and magnesite boards — ideal for both walls and ceilings in residential or commercial spaces.
How is the Standard Hatch installed?
The hatch frame is designed to sit behind the plasterboard. You simply rest it in the cut-out and screw through the plasterboard into frame using self-tapping screws — no adhesives or specialist tools needed.
Does the hatch sit flush with the wall or ceiling?
Yes. The Standard Hatch provides a completely flush finish when installed correctly behind 12.5mm plasterboard. Once painted or wallpapered, it becomes nearly invisible, with only a fine shadow gap visible.
Can I skim or paint over the hatch door?
Yes — the door is made from moisture-resistant Knauf gypsum plasterboard, which can be skimmed, painted, or wallpapered just like your surrounding wall or ceiling.
Is this hatch suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes. The hatch uses moisture-resistant materials and is suitable for use in indoor environments with some humidity (like bathrooms or kitchens), as long as it’s not exposed to direct water contact or steam.
Can I use this hatch in tiled walls or on floors?
No. The Standard Hatch is not suitable for tiled surfaces, stone, flooring, or high-impact areas. It is designed only for dry-lined walls and ceilings.
How does the hatch open and close?
t features a German-engineered push-to-open latch system, meaning you simply press the hatch to release and open it — no handles or tools required.
Is custom sizing available?
Yes. We offer made-to-order sizes upon request. Get in touch with us to specify your measurements and we’ll help you get the perfect fit for your space.
What makes this hatch different from other access panels?
The Standard Hatch sits behind the plasterboard, unlike surface-mounted hatches. It delivers a truly invisible finish, requires no framing or supports, and features lightweight, durable construction with moisture-resistant materials and precision engineering.

Get rid of those ugly Loft hatches with something sleak.

We were looking for something to replace our ugly plastic loft hatches that have been a blight on our house for 10 years. After some on-line searching found just what we were looking for from 'Hatch Hub' just not in the size we wanted. Dropped Illya an e-mail on a Saturday evening for a custom size request and by lunchtime on Sunday had a price & ETA. Made to order and hand delivered in a couple of weeks.
