long-term satisfaction for homeowners and avoid call-backs by installers.
REPUTATION
Gordon basement doors are in use in most states, are accepted on state and federal projects, and meet
standard building code requirements. In f

your own home, or in the project you’re working on now.

Gordon all-steel basement doors are more durable – and more economical – than wooden doors.
They’re available in a wide range of sizes, and fit most precast or field-constructed entryways.

Gordon doors provide enhanced safety. Our tamper-proof locking mechanism means better internal
security. The Cellalock - a keyed exterior lock is available for t
hose needing secure exterior access.
