A suspended ceiling construction comprises a plurality of individual ceiling tiles suspended in rows between evenly spaced support beams. Each tile has a kerfed back edge that fits over a flange on a back support beam and an "L"-shaped front portion having a lower lip that fits under a flange on a front support beam. The side edges of each ceiling tile include longitudinal kerfs therein extending rearwardly from the front portion of the tile, with the kerfs being positioned above the lip on the front portion of the tile by a distance at least equal to the thickness of the flange on the front support beam. Interengaging splines fit into the kerfs in the sides of abutting ceiling tiles and at least one of the splines engages the front support beams. The splines are movable with respect to each other so a locking means associated with one of the splines can be positioned in a slot associated with a tile adjacent to the locking means to secure the tile in the ceiling; and the locking means can be positioned in a vertical access in communication with the slot to remove the tile from the ceiling.
