Regular maintenance of bulkhead doors ensures they remain functional and last longer. This includes cleaning, lubricating hinges, inspecting for damage, and applying protective coatings as needed.

To extend the life of your bulkhead doors, regularly clean the doors and surrounding area to prevent debris buildup. Regularly inspect the doors for signs of wear or damage, particularly before and after winter. If needed, replace weatherstripping to maintain a tight seal, and touch up paint or stain to protect the material. Have the doors professionally inspected from time to time. We also recommend lubricating the hinges and other moving parts annually.
