** Also, the simple answer would be that there's a shipping container sized door that they use for the big stuff (or some artifact-powered version there of) that they can use. It's just never used or mentioned very often because there's generally not going to be that many massive objects. Alternative or additionally, the front door (ie the one people use) is simply part of a larger front door which isn't opened unless you need to get something big into the warehouse. Again, since they almost never need to use it, it's never mentioned.

*** One interpretation is that rebooting the forcefield around the agents effectively makes it so that they are "outside" the Warehouse-- it's not one forcefield and one bubble, but one single forcefield that contains everything except the contents of the bubble. Putting the bubble around the bomb would make the bomb "outside" the Warehouse, and the nuclear explosion would do much more damage.
