Custom Wine Cellar Doors

The very first question you must answer is, ‘where is your wine cellar?’ Is it on the exterior of your home, or the interior? If it is outside then the weather will play a big part in your choice. It will also make a difference when your wine cellar was constructed. Old time cellars had a slanted door and did little to control the interior of the cellar. You don’t find many of that type in California unless they were built early in the twentieth century.

However if your exterior wine cellar door is vertical a solid wood door would work. You could design the door yourself and have it custom made and hung by a reliable professional company. You would also want a sturdy deadbolt lock on the door so no one other than yourself, could enter the wine cellar. When you have quality wine in your cellar you may also want it to be part of your home security system.

If you take guests into your wine cellar, the door will be very important. You may want it to have your initials carved in the center of the heavy door. The door will be the first thing your guests see when they enter the cellar. That door will show what quality of wine you will serve your guests.

The proper insulation will be a necessity. Top, bottom, and sides of the door should be efficient to keep out moisture, wind, and weather in particular. If the steps to your cellar are just inside the door, the door should swing outward. If there is a slab inside the door it may swing inward to allow you to be on level ground before descending down the stairs.

If your wine cellar door is on the interior of your home, there are different types of doors that will serve your purpose. Again it needs to be a sturdy insulated door, and you could also have it custom made to show that you are entering a special place. In the wine cellar you will want it to maintain the proper temperature and the entrance door will be the controller of that.

A lock on the door would control any unwanted visitors into the area such as children or their friends. Also to insure that the door does its duty to show the quality of the items within, the door could have designs or even fancy lettering declaring Wine Cooler Within.
