Specify lead equivalence, door type, and opening size, and Euwoo will build a project-ready lead lined door package for diagnostic imaging spaces. Our assemblies are engineered to support shielding continuity at the leaf, frame, and vision panel, with attention to edge overlaps and hardware cutouts where leakage often occurs.
A radiation shielding door is only as strong as its weakest path. These features focus on what specifiers and installers care about: predictable Pb equivalence, continuous coverage through the opening, and field-friendly installation details.
We build to the requirement specified in your shielding report instead of offering a single standard thickness. You specify the Pb equivalence and opening size, and we configure the leaf, frame, and any vision panel so the assembly targets the same shielding level across the full opening.
Radiation leakage rarely happens through the middle of the leaf; it shows up at transitions and penetrations. We design construction details to reduce common leakage paths at the jambs, head, and meeting stiles with lead return, frame lining, and overlap details.
We offer lead glass vision panels with lead equivalence matched to the door requirement so the glazing does not become the limiting element. Window options include flush or raised frames, removable glazing beads for service, and sizes that balance sightlines with shielding needs.
Shielding materials add significant weight. Our construction focuses on reinforcement at hinge locations, lock areas, and closer mounting points to resist sagging over time. Hardware packages include heavy-duty ball-bearing or continuous hinges.
We support powder-coated steel finishes in common RAL colors, and stainless steel cladding options where chemical resistance or premium aesthetics are needed. Detailing options include smooth seams, clean edges, and protection accessories.
We support your submittal workflow with shop drawings, door schedules, and clear notes on shielding level, window configuration, and frame detail. Material documentation such as lead sheet certifications available upon request.
Typical ranges for early budgeting and coordination. Final specifications confirmed during submittals based on your shielding report.

A radiation shielding door is a system: faces, core, shielding layer, reinforcements, and frame details must work together under higher weight and frequent use.
Galvanized steel faces provide durability and stable substrate for powder coat. Stainless options available.
Selected to meet specified Pb equivalence, applied to support continuity at edges and interfaces.
Reinforcement at hinge, lock, and closer zones to handle added mass and maintain alignment over time.
Edge detailing to reduce leakage paths at the perimeter, tailored to project detail and door usage.
Frames fabricated to match wall build-up, can include lead lining at stop and continuity features.
These assemblies are commonly specified wherever ionizing radiation is present and controlled access is required.
Higher shielding levels, stringent coordination with equipment and controls. We build to specified Pb equivalence and coordinate lead glass selection where visibility is required.
Swing or sliding configurations availablePredictable lead times, straightforward installation, finishes matching office interiors. Compact lead lined door solutions with practical hardware.
Professional appearance for patient comfortDurable doors for carts and frequent cleaning, with visibility for staff safety and procedure monitoring. Kick plates and edge protection available.
Built for operational durabilityControlled access, clear signage, coordination with safety controls and monitoring systems. Project-specific configurations with access control preparation.
Reliable barrier for safer operationsBecause shielding doors are heavier than standard doors, hardware selection and preparation should be treated as part of the engineering scope.
Heavy-duty ball-bearing or continuous hinges based on leaf weight and cycle rate; reinforcement at hinge zones.
Closer selection matched to door mass and corridor airflow; optional operator prep for hands-free access.
Mortise or cylindrical locks with reinforcement and shielding continuity considerations at lock pockets.
Preparation for readers, electric strikes, magnets, contacts; coordinate cable paths to avoid drilling through shielding.
Door position contacts and mounting preparation so system integrator can complete interlock installation per project spec.
Most project issues are caused by missing inputs, late changes, or field modifications that break continuity. This guide helps avoid common leakage paths.
A shielding report typically defines the required Pb equivalence for each barrier and opening based on room layout, equipment parameters, and occupancy. Use that requirement to specify the door. If you only request a generic thickness, you may over-buy cost and weight or, worse, under-spec protection.
Leakage paths often appear where the door leaf meets the frame, at the meeting stile of double doors, and around cutouts. Options like lead return, lead-lined stops, and overlap details help reduce these paths.
A common mistake is specifying lead glass without confirming its Pb equivalence or detailing how the window frame ties into surrounding shielding. Avoid an unshielded ring around the cutout.
Shielding layers complicate late hardware changes. Access control, interlocks, and operators should be coordinated during submittals so reinforcements and cabling routes can be prepared without field drilling.
Opening size/handing, door quantity, required Pb equivalence, frame throat, wall build-up, vision panel requirements, hardware set, and access control/interlock prep needs.
Configurable options to match your shielding report, coordinate with finishes, and standardize across projects.
Project-based; typically 1 to 20 sets depending on configuration.
Typically 25 to 45 days after drawing approval; complex schedules may require additional time.
Selection depends on room requirements, durability expectations, and interior standards.
| Option | Best For | Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Euwoo Lead-Lined Steel Door | Hospitals, clinics, high-traffic imaging | Durable steel, configurable continuity, lead glass and hardware prep | Requires proper coordination of Pb eq and frame detail |
| Lead-Lined Wood Door | Office-style interiors, lower traffic | Warm appearance, common wood detailing | More sensitive to moisture and impact |
| Aftermarket Field Shielding | Retrofit situations with constraints | May reduce procurement changes | Higher risk of gaps and interface issues |
| Sliding Shielded Door | Space-constrained rooms | Reduced swing clearance | Requires wall pocket/track coordination |
Radiation shielding work is reviewed by multiple stakeholders. We focus on clear submittals, traceable inputs, and practical installation notes.
Elevation/section details with size, handing, frame throat, hardware prep, and specified Pb equivalence.
Lead sheet certificates and glazing documentation upon request for project files and traceability.
Practical guidance on anchoring, alignment, and shielded component handling.
Room-based labeling and packing photos for efficient site staging.
Predictable manufacturing, documentation, and logistics for radiation shielding projects.
We quote and build from your shielding report and architectural details so the assembly matches the specified Pb equivalence, opening size, and coordination needs. This reduces confusion during review because stakeholders see a clear schedule tied to project requirements.
We offer continuity-oriented options like edge return, overlap details, and lead-lined frame elements to reduce leakage paths. We also plan for high-risk areas such as hardware cutouts and vision panels.
We reinforce hinge, lock, and closer zones and coordinate hardware packages that suit the expected cycle rate. Stable alignment supports both daily usability and continuity details.
We support shop drawings, door schedules, and documentation requested for traceability. For multi-room shipments, labeling and packing lists help site teams stage work efficiently.
Consistent finishes, optional branding, and export-safe packing for international delivery. Factory-direct communication helps clarify technical details quickly.
