Additional Safety Features

Steelway aluminum sidewalk doors are:

Recessed Handles

We install our recessed sidewalk door handles whenever possible to prevent tripping hazards and achieve a sleek look.

Safety Chains

We install safety chains inside of our sidewalk doors to prevent people, animal, or objects from falling in. This is necessary if you intend on using your sidewalk doors for ventilation.

Rebar Studs

In new constructions, we can provide extra support by welding #4 rebar studs into the frame.

Padlock Tabs

Show our expert installers where you want your padlocks to go and they will place the tabs accordingly.
