I thought of this too, but quickly saw a problem, iron doors can be opened by placing redstone beneath them, but th hatches would be useless if you put a block with a redstone torch beneath it, so the only way for it to work with redstone wouldn't be very appealing to the eye because you would need an open block with redstone leading to the hatch. so if you don't mind how it looks then there's no problem, but if you're OCD like 90% of minecraft players, there's an issue.

You could maybe doing it by letting the trap-door take current from a powered block adjacent to it.
But anyways, I was thinking, since we have iron doors as well as wooden doors, why not iron hatches? They may only be opened through redstone energy.

Well thanks for using search or looking unlike many other people
Then why build iron doors? The iron hatch would be stronger and only triggered by a redstone circuit like it's door counterpart.
