My new vacation/rental property has one feature that makes me very nervous: access to the basement is through a trap door in the floor. It is a small house and the trap door sits in a hallway with th

You can block the hallway when the door is open (think those retractable belts they use for queues at the movie theater). Google "Wall mounted belt barrier." When you are going to open the door, you

I'm envisioning a switch (like for a security system) that will tell you when the door is open, hooked up to a big red flashing light. Could be a simple tilt switch (like on an old pinball machine).

It sounds like you need some sort of interlock, such that someone cannot use the trap door unless something is blocking people from falling into it. One way to do it would be to put a second trap doo

Me too, except a big light shining up out of the hole should be sufficient. I wouldn't want to have to have a flashing red light all the time that anyone is in the basement doing laundry. I didn't un

Thanks guys. Some interesting approaches, but none that will probably keep the lawyers at bay. (Although the "imported boy" idea might actually work, it could also bring a different kind of lawyer my

All the engineering solutions are pretty cool sounding, but after being a landlord myself, there's just no way I'd ever rent out a house with a trapdoor in it, no matter what. I'd build a staircase--

I was thinking for just him and his wife. I'm reasonably certain the barrier would stop me, and probably my wife too. And (more importantly) I know I won't sue myself. On the other hand, it's only a
