I don't know for sure, but I think a lot of grimmsters are making a bit too much out of this door. We are in the world of Grimm so pretty much anything can happen but let's just step back and look at what we actually know about the door.
Now, Nick stated that the tunnel wasn't on any city plans and that it probably dated back to the Prohibition Era. He also mentioned something about a "shanghai tunnel". Now, for those of you who may not know, "shanghaing" was when sailors were kidnapped and woke up on a ship at sea and found themselves a new happy home!!
More likely though, if it goes back to Prohibition and the tunnel probably led to a dock where liquor could be unloaded and taken to the factory unseen by unfriendly Federal types.
Actually, neither function precludes the other!
More likely the show intends for this to simply be a bolt hole for our happy little Grimm family, one that Black Claw can't possibly know about. So, if Black Claw does find the Grimm Lair, then they already have the plot device needed for them to get out.
It would also make another good means of egress and ingress to the Grimm Lair so the Grimm crew can come and go with less chance of being made by unfriendly types.
