Mounting hardware for ceiling system

A panel assembly comprising

• a body and having an upper surface opposite a lower surface and a first elongated side surface opposite a second elongated side surface, the first elongated side surface and the second elongated side surface extending between the upper surface and the lower surface of the body;
• at least one mounting clip comprising:
• a mounting flange comprising:
• a top surface opposite a bottom surface and a perimeter extending between the top surface and the bottom surface;
• a keyhole located inset from the perimeter of the mounting flange and extending continuously from the top surface to the bottom surface of the mounting flange;
• a first positioning member extending upwards from the mounting flange;
• a second positioning member extending upwards from the mounting flange;
• a first hook member extending from the first positioning member;
• a second hook member extending from the second positioning member;
• at least one fastener comprising:
• a head;
• and
• a shaft;
• and
• wherein the upper surface of the mounting flange is located is adjacent to the lower surface of the body;
• wherein the first positioning member is located adjacent to the first elongated side surface and the second positioning member is located adjacent to the second elongated side surface;
• wherein the shaft of the fastener is located at least partially within the keyhole of the mounting flange;
• and
• wherein the head of the fastener is located adjacent to the bottom surface of the mounting flange.

A method of assembling a panel assembly comprising:

• a) providing a mounting clip comprising a mounting flange having an upper surface opposite a lower surface and a keyhole that extends continuously between the upper surface and the lower surface of the mounting flange, and providing a pre-assembled grille assembly comprising at least one cross member having a body, the cross member comprising an upper surface opposite a lower surface;
• b) aligning the upper surface of the mounting clip with the lower surface of the cross member;
• c) driving a fastener through the keyhole of the mounting flange and into the body of the cross member such that the upper surface of the mounting flange contacts the lower surface of the cross member, and the cross member and mounting flange are held relative to each other by the fastener;
• and
• d) hanging the grille assembly from at least one support member via a torsion spring that is coupled to the mounting clip.
