Cellar Doors

Cellar doors provide essential access to basements while ensuring security, durability, and protection from the elements. Whether you’re replacing an old cellar door or installing a new one, J.C. Tonnotti Window Company offers high-quality cellar door solutions designed to withstand Connecticut’s harsh weather conditions while enhancing your home’s functionality and safety.

Investing in a quality cellar door offers numerous advantages, including:

• Enhanced Security – Heavy-duty steel and reinforced locking mechanisms keep your basement safe.
  
• Weather Resistance – Durable materials and proper sealing prevent leaks, rust, and water damage.
  
• Easy Access – Provides a convenient entry point for basement storage, storm shelters, or utility areas.
  
• Custom Sizing – Available in standard and custom dimensions to fit your home’s needs.
  
• Increased Home Value – A new cellar door improves your home's overall appeal and security.
  

Before installing a cellar door, consider these key factors:

• Material Choice – Steel, aluminum, and composite doors each offer different levels of durability and maintenance requirements.
  
• Security Features – Look for reinforced hinges, sturdy locks, and tamper-resistant designs.
  
• Waterproofing & Drainage – Proper installation includes sealing to prevent water intrusion.
  
• Aesthetic Preferences – Powder-coated finishes and color options allow you to match your home’s exterior.
  

The price of cellar doors depends on several factors:

• Material & Build Quality – Steel and composite doors tend to cost more than basic aluminum options.
  
• Size & Customization – Custom-sized doors require additional labor and materials.
