Cellar Door Accessories for Your Cellar or Basement


For homes with a storm cellar or exterior entrance to their underground basement, we offer a variety of bulkhead doors and cellar door accessories at Lowe’s. Many older homes and homes in storm-prone areas feature these underground shelters. Cellar doors, or hatchway doors, help to protect these spaces. At Lowe’s, you’ll find the doors and accessories you need to replace or repair your existing door.


Cellar doors have designs that help them to protect your cellar, to prevent leaks from heavy rainfall or snowfall, and to stay securely closed when winds are high. Most come in sturdy materials, such as galvanized steel. Stainless steel hinges and hardware can provide reinforcement. Dual handles make it easy to open and close the door from the exterior.


We also carry the door hardware you need to properly install bulkhead doors. Accessories include foundation plates, headers, stair stringers and extension kits. You can buy items separately, or you can find a door and all the necessary accessories available in one convenient kit.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What’s the purpose of a cellar door?

A: Cellar doors protect a storm cellar from the elements. They secure to the bulkhead during installation, allowing them to protect the interior from leaks or wind. Additionally, they serve as an entrance and exit to the cellar.


Q: What are basement access doors called?

A: Basement access doors go by several names. People sometimes call them bulkhead doors, which are exterior entrances to basements that you find most often in older homes. Other names for these exterior doors include cellar doors or hatchway doors. No matter their name, these doors serve the same purpose: securing the entry point of your cellar or basement and protecting it from the elements.
