Cellar Door Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cellar doors does Steel Masters NYC fabricate?
Steel Masters NYC fabricates all types of sidewalk cellar doors — diamond plate flat hatch doors, hydraulic Ez Lift doors, waterproof bulkhead sloped doors, lockable slide bolt doors, and fully custom doors for non-standard openings. Every door is custom built to your opening dimensions in our Brooklyn shop.
How long does cellar door installation take?
Most standard cellar door installations are completed in a few hours. We visit the site to measure, fabricate in our Brooklyn shop, and return to install — usually within one week. Timeline depends on complexity and current fabrication schedule.
Do you replace existing cellar doors or only install new ones?
We handle both. Steel Masters removes the old unit and installs a new custom-fabricated door built to the dimensions of your opening. Full replacement from start to finish.
Do you fabricate cellar doors for residential properties like brownstones and townhouses?
Yes. In addition to commercial storefronts and apartment buildings, we fabricate and install cellar doors for residential properties throughout New York City — including brownstones, townhouses, rowhouses, and co-op and condo buildings. We actually invented the ultra-model waterproof door for coal chutes and sidewalk doors. Every door is custom built to your opening dimensions.
Can you fabricate cellar doors for non-standard or odd-size openings?
Yes. Every door we build is custom-fabricated to your opening dimensions. Non-standard, irregular, and odd-size openings are common in older NYC buildings and we specialize in building doors that fit perfectly regardless of the dimensions.
