It's remarkable that the latch on the basement door held that much pressure.

The amount of water is completely irrelevant, only the depth of the water. :confuoot:

If the door is 30 inches wide, water level is 60 inches (5 ft), then an average of 1.08psi is being exerted on the door. Which is 1953lbs.

And if the room was the size of Texas but the depth didn't change, neither would the pressure.
