Hydraulic-Powered Ez Lift Cellar Door System

A new era of basement cellar access has arrived. Business and property owners across the five boroughs now have access to a uniquely engineered, hydraulic-powered Ez Lift cellar door system designed to save your back while securing and beautifying New York's iconic sidewalk entrances.

Hydraulic Ez Lift cellar door system installed on a NYC sidewalk

Developed by Steel Masters NYC, these custom-fabricated hydraulic cellar doors offer next-generation protection for commercial buildings, retail storefronts, restaurants, mixed-use properties, and private homes. Built to withstand the city's toughest conditions, the system combines heavy-duty steel construction with a sleek, low-profile design - opening safely and with far less effort than traditional sidewalk cellar gates, with a single smooth motion.

Unlike traditional steel hatch doors that rely on manual lifting, these hydraulic systems are smooth and tamper-resistant - making them ideal for restaurants, office buildings, and multi-tenant complexes where the door is used multiple times daily.

Why property managers and storefront owners choose the Ez Lift system

  • Effortless operation - hydraulic lift assist eliminates the strain of heavy manual lifting
  • Safer to use - significantly reduces the risk of injury when opening or closing
  • Custom fit - fabricated to meet your specifications for a seamless, curb-appeal finish
  • Individually calculated hydraulics - each unit is engineered to the exact weight of your custom-sized door
  • Permanently secured - each unit is primed, painted, and anchored in place
  • Tamper-resistant - built to deter unauthorized access
