bulkhead door catching rod

[Ink]

Hi,

I think this is what the springs are called that hold the bulkhead door up? Where would you get a replacement for that?

We need more detail ,Ink.

Torsion rod springs. For replacements, I'd look for the name of the manufacturer and Google-it-up.

He's not talking about those. He's talking about what we used to call a "hatchway" door. (Is that just a Connecticutism or do they say that in other parts of the country.)

That's the door Sgt. Bilco used to get to the crapper.

In this part of New England a bilco door is the generic term for a door leading to a basement or crawl space. The Bilco company steel doors with the torsion bar release are far and above the most widely used.

Hey John...I knew that but was trying to clarify if that's what these guys are speaking about. I should have said "exterior cellar or basement door".

I type like 7 words a minute so I tend to economize my responses.

I am taking and practicing an online typing course. I have the middle" home row mastered at about 35 words a minute and I'm ready to jump into some new keys. The problem is, even with all this skill it's hard to type a response when your vocabulary is limited to : saga,jag,flask,kafka,lag,has, and salsa.

Bilco also makes really nice roof hatches.

I prefer Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing
