Why Access Doors & Storage Drawers Matter in an Outdoor Kitchen

Access doors and drawers aren’t just cosmetic—they’re functional, safety-related, and often required for proper installation and service access.

Outdoor access doors and storage drawers allow you to:

• Access gas shutoff valves and plumbing connections

• Service grills, burners, and refrigerators

• Store grilling tools, utensils, and accessories

• Hide utility connections for a clean look

• Improve organization and workflow

A properly planned outdoor kitchen always includes the right access components.

Outdoor Access Doors (Single & Double)

Outdoor access doors provide access to utilities and storage inside your island. They are commonly installed below grills, side burners, power burners, and sinks.

Types of Outdoor Access Doors

• Single Access Doors: Ideal for compact spaces or specific utility access

• Double Access Doors: Wider openings for easier access and storage

Access doors are typically installed directly below cooking equipment for service and safety.

Outdoor Storage Drawers

Outdoor kitchen storage drawers keep everything you need close at hand while grilling and entertaining.

Common Storage Drawer Options

• Single Drawers: For utensils and small tools

• Double Drawers: Increased storage capacity

• Triple Drawers: Maximum organization for full outdoor kitchens

Drawers are often placed near grills and prep areas for convenience.

Built-In Design for Outdoor Kitchens

Access doors and storage drawers are built-in components, designed to install directly into outdoor kitchen islands. They are not freestanding products and should be planned as part of the island layout.

Built-in access components are designed to:

• Install flush with island faces

• Match grills and other outdoor kitchen equipment

• Provide weather-resistant storage

• Maintain a clean, professional appearance

Our Best of Backyard design team helps ensure proper sizing, placement, and alignment during planning.

What to Look for in Outdoor Access Doors & Drawers

Not all outdoor access components are built the same. Important features to consider include:

• Stainless Steel Construction: Outdoor durability and corrosion resistance

• Weather Seals & Gaskets: Protect contents from moisture and debris

• Soft-Close or Smooth Glide Tracks: For premium drawer performance

• Magnetic or Secure Latching: Keeps doors closed in outdoor conditions

• Brand Compatibility: Matches your grill and outdoor kitchen equipment

We focus on real-world installation and long-term durability—not just appearance.

Matching Access Doors & Drawers to Your Outdoor Kitchen

For the best look and performance, access doors and drawers should:

• Match the brand and finish of your grill

• Be sized correctly for your island framing

• Align with gas, plumbing, and electrical layouts

• Complement your outdoor kitchen design style

Our experts help ensure everything lines up correctly the first time.

Popular Uses for Outdoor Access Doors & Drawers

• Grill tool and accessory storage

• Hiding propane tanks or gas lines

They make your outdoor kitchen more functional, organized, and enjoyable.
