Is There Such a Thing as a Watertight Residential Door?

Our house has a basement, unfortunately. To keep it dry we have two sump pumps. This has been a very wet winter and spring.

While I have stand-by generators they require someone be here to get them running and plugged into the separate fuse box. It is a great arrangement as long as someone is here.

I don't want to do the auto on generators due to cost and the need for propane or natural gas. I don't have either.

I am looking at battery back-up that will run the pumps but it occurred to me that the basement door well is really the only entrance point for water: Is there a watertight door that is available.

My interweb searches have not been too fruitful, mainly along these lines:

Just curious.

TIA.
