Requires a hatch cover.

A Floor Hatch is door based on the Z-axis. When you create a stairway between two floors (both an upwards staircase on the lower floor and a downwards staircase on the upper floor) the Floor Hatch, when put on the upper floor staircase, acts like a door. If you lock it, the dwarves will not use that staircase.

Testing shows that in a nutshell: -Two Floor Hatches (one on each staircase going up and down) is ineffective. You only need to put one on top. -They work just like doors. Only more Z-axisey -The hatch will be flashing

Floor Hatches could possibly have another use: -Trap doors when hooked to pressure plates? -For use over pits and ponds?

More testing is required.
