Access Doors Under Porch

 Project Scope: Fabricated and installed a custom double-door access hatch into an existing wooden lattice skirt to provide functional storage access beneath the porch while preserving the clean exterior aesthetic.

 Opening & Rough Framing: Precision-cut the diagonal lattice using a jigsaw to establish a clean, square rough opening, then framed the perimeter with dimensional lumber to reinforce the structure and provide a solid mounting base.

 Door Fabrication & Hardware: Built custom matching access panels fitted with heavy-duty black surface-mount hinges and a secure center latch mechanism for reliable daily operation.

 Finishing & Integration: Applied a custom-matched exterior wood stain to the new raw lumber framing and doors, blending the access hatch seamlessly into the existing dark-stained lattice and porch trim.
