Covers, Grates and Locks
Window Well Covers in Denver, CO
An open window well collects snow, leaves, trash and sometimes a curious pet. Denver Window Wells fits clear covers and steel grates to your wells so they stay clean and safe, and covers on egress wells still open from inside when they need to.
Why Cover Your Window Wells?
Colorado snowstorms, spring rain and fall leaves all end up in an open well. A cover keeps most of it out, so the drain has less to handle and the basement window stays clear.
Keep water out
Less snow and rain in the well means less water sitting against your basement window.
Protect kids and pets
A fitted cover or grate keeps people and animals from falling into a deep well.
Stop leaves and debris
Leaves, trash and critters stay out, so the gravel and drain keep working.
Add security
Covers and grates make a ground-level window harder to reach, and locks add more.
Window Well Cover and Grate Options
We match the cover to the shape of the well, how much light you want in the basement and whether the well is an emergency exit.
Clear Polycarbonate Covers
Clear covers let daylight reach the basement while keeping out snow, rain and leaves. Dome, flat and lean-to styles fit round, square and rectangular wells.
Steel Grates
Bar and mesh grates add strong protection against falls and keep larger debris out. They let air and light through, and they pair well with egress wells.
Custom-Fit Covers
Timber wells, wide wells and odd shapes often need a cover made to size. We measure each well so the cover sits snug against the house.
Safety First
Covers on Egress Window Wells
If a well sits outside a bedroom or an egress window, it is an emergency exit. Building codes allow covers and grates on those wells only if they can be opened from inside the well without a key, a tool or special strength.
We fit egress wells with covers and grates that release from inside, and the window well locks we sell are built with an emergency release, so you can add security without blocking the way out.

Window Well Cover FAQs
Can I put a cover on an egress window well?
Yes, as long as it can be opened from inside the well without a key, tool or extra force. We install covers and grates built that way, so the well still works as an emergency exit.
Will a window well cover make my basement darker?
Clear polycarbonate covers let daylight through, so most basements stay bright. Steel grates are open, so they let in light and air as well.
Do you make covers for timber or oddly shaped wells?
Yes. We measure every well, and timber, wide or unusual wells can get a cover made to fit.
Do you sell window well locks?
Yes. Our window well locks are sold online with free shipping and include an emergency release, so they add security without blocking an egress well.
