Cellar Doors for Safe, Dry Storage
When the weather radio broadcast warns a storm is approaching, you need cellar doors you can depend on. At Lowe’s, you’ll find heavy-duty, steel-constructed cellar doors, basement doors and accessories featuring strong corrosion resistance and long-lasting toughness against the worst that nature can throw at them.
Cellar doors – which people sometimes call bulkhead doors or hatchway doors – are typically designed at an angled slope. This slope allows debris like wind-blown fallen tree branches to roll up, over and past your doors so your exit doesn’t get obstructed in a storm. Should your doors be blocked, the angle lowers the force required to force them open.
Some of the most popular brands of steel cellar doors — such as Gordon cellar doors — feature double handles and seamless headers. They also come complete with a frame and ready to install. They’re roomy enough to let you carry in boxes for storage or even create a basement game room with a foosball table and other games. The galvanized sills and stainless steel hinges on cellar doors won’t rust, so you can rely on them even in heavy storms.
