My basement (pretty conventional 70's construction) has a set of steps going out to the back yard, which are topped with a set of "Bilco" steel doors. They keep the rain out just fine, but they are

Not likely you'll find anything pre-made to fit that opening, so IMO you are stuck either making your own, or paying someone else to do it for you. Certainly more than a weekend project, but I would

Doug, if you don't need the 4'x7', it shouldn't be too hard to take a few 2x4s and frame it down to a standard door. Add a little insulation and paneling (or dry wall if you want more work) and you'r

You won't find the needed door in stock at Home Depot, but they can probably order you a custom made door that fits you need. They can probably also supply you with the jamb for it. If not, check wi

I second Brian, Buy or find a framed door unit (HD or Lowes have various sizes) smaller than 7X4 and just frame around it to fit. Consider whether you want it to swing toward the stairs or into the b

One thing you might want to check first is the size of anything you might want to get in or out of the basement. Like maybe an oil tank, huge milling machine or lathe :-) If it's bigger that a standa

Yes, I definitely want to avoid reducing the effective width of the stairway. Do using a narrower door and framing to fit is not an option. Doug _______________________________________________ Suppor

You can make a door fairly easily yourself using construction lumber, two sheets of 1/4 luan plywood and some rigid foam. Cut the two sheets of luan to the size of the door you want. Lay one sheet do

The harderr part of the project is making a solid, square frame that is properly attached to the cement walls. I also have to deal with the fact that there is a step where the door is supposed to go,

If you're willing to give up on the insulation properties, something as simple as a patio door or even an accordian door could work. I'm guessing that since you already have one door stopping most of

Doug - If you don't need to actually regularly use it as a door, how about just trimming down a sheet of 4x8 foam insulation board to be a pressure fit in the opening? See 416989 or 270895 at homedep

You can purchase a frame. The ones I've seen come as a kit as three pieces. Just plumb the hing side of the frame, hang the door, then fit the rest of the frame to the door. Peter T. ________________

I was thinking of doing that as a sort of beta test, to see how much warmer the basement would become. Instead I simply duct-taped a piece of tarp over the opening, and a day later it was quite a bit
