Basement Accessory Products
Keyed Lock Kit
With a BILCO basement door lock, a simple turn of the key opens the door from the outside, providing convenient access to basement storage areas, workshops, playrooms and utility rooms. The lock kit is designed for homeowner installation and is supplied with a template and complete instructions for quick, easy installation. Watch our on-line installation video.
Foundation Plates
Used in both new and retrofit applications, foundation plates improve an areaway’s appearance, cover rough masonry, reduce the inside areaway width, or provide side support in corner installations. Formed plates are constructed of prime-painted steel and are available with an optional powder-coat paint finish (see available colors on page 2). Foundation plates are 72” in length and are available in 5”, 8”, 11” and 14” widths.
Stair Stringers
Stringers are available for all size BILCO basement doors. Constructed of heavy gauge galvanized steel, stringers are ideal for replacing existing wooden basement steps. The removable tread design allows bulky items to be easily moved into the basement for storage.
Weather Strip Kit - NEW
BILCO’s new weather strip kit is easy to install and includes a series of gaskets specifically designed to seal the intricate shape and areas of a basement door. The kit is supplied with complete installation instructions and the only tools required are tin snips or large scissors. Simply trim the materials as instructed to match your specific door model (possibly even other brands of steel basement doors) and enjoy your well-sealed areaway.
