This article is about an older version of DF.

Hatch covers act like Template:Ls, but between Z-levels instead of X/Y passageways. They can be placed over stairs or open space, as long as they are supported by an adjacent floor tiles.

Like doors, they can be linked with mechanisms, locked, and kept tightly closed to keep out water, pets and foes alike.

When open, hatches appear as a ¢ and are not visible when open. Their colour will vary depending on the material it has been made from.

They can be constructed from a Template:L, Template:L or Template:L from Template:L, Template:L or Template:L respectively. Once built, they may be placed with H.

A dwarf falling down stairs will be stopped by a closed floor hatch.
