Key Features Engineered for Shielding Continuity

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.

Specified Pb Equivalence, Built to Your Shielding Report

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.

Continuity at the Leaf, Frame, and High-Risk Cutouts

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.

Lead Glass Vision Panels Matched to Shielding Level

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.

Heavy-Duty Structure for Added Weight and Daily Traffic

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.

Hospital-Friendly Finishes and Clean Detailing

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.

Submittals-Ready Documentation and Traceable QC

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.

Door Construction Overview

A radiation shielding door is a system: faces, core, shielding layer, reinforcements, and frame details must work together under higher weight and frequent use.

1

Steel Faces

Galvanized steel faces provide durability and stable substrate for powder coat. Stainless options available.

2

Shielding Layer (Lead or Alternative)

Selected to meet specified Pb equivalence, applied to support continuity at edges and interfaces.

3

Reinforced Core and Structure

Reinforcement at hinge, lock, and closer zones to handle added mass and maintain alignment over time.

4

Edge Return and Overlap Options

Edge detailing to reduce leakage paths at the perimeter, tailored to project detail and door usage.

5

Welded Steel Frame with Lining Options

Frames fabricated to match wall build-up, can include lead lining at stop and continuity features.

Applications and Room Types

These assemblies are commonly specified wherever ionizing radiation is present and controlled access is required.

Hospital Radiography Rooms and DR Suites

Challenge: High daily traffic, frequent cleaning, tight project schedules.
Solution: X-ray room door package with specified Pb equivalence, durable steel, heavy-duty hardware, optional lead glass visibility.
Outcome: Clear submittals and predictable installation for durable clinical corridor entrance.

CT and Fluoroscopy Procedure Areas

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 available

Dental and Outpatient Imaging Clinics

Predictable lead times, straightforward installation, finishes matching office interiors. Compact lead lined door solutions with practical hardware.

Professional appearance for patient comfort

Veterinary Imaging Rooms

Durable doors for carts and frequent cleaning, with visibility for staff safety and procedure monitoring. Kick plates and edge protection available.

Built for operational durability

Industrial NDT and X-Ray Inspection Areas

Controlled access, clear signage, coordination with safety controls and monitoring systems. Project-specific configurations with access control preparation.

Reliable barrier for safer operations

Hardware, Access Control, and Interlock Preparation

Because shielding doors are heavier than standard doors, hardware selection and preparation should be treated as part of the engineering scope.

X-ray room door hardware prep

Hinges

Heavy-duty ball-bearing or continuous hinges based on leaf weight and cycle rate; reinforcement at hinge zones.

Closers and Operators

Closer selection matched to door mass and corridor airflow; optional operator prep for hands-free access.

Locks and Latching

Mortise or cylindrical locks with reinforcement and shielding continuity considerations at lock pockets.

Access Control

Preparation for readers, electric strikes, magnets, contacts; coordinate cable paths to avoid drilling through shielding.

Radiation Interlocks

Door position contacts and mounting preparation so system integrator can complete interlock installation per project spec.

How to Specify Shielding Correctly

Most project issues are caused by missing inputs, late changes, or field modifications that break continuity. This guide helps avoid common leakage paths.

Start with the Shielding Report, Not a Catalog Thickness

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.

Pay Attention to Transitions

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.

Match Windows to Shielding Level

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.

Coordinate Hardware Early

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.
