Lead Lined Doors — Radiation Shielding for X-Ray, CT & Cath Labs
Precision-manufactured radiation shielding doors engineered with pure chemical lead sheet cores. Designed to block X-rays and gamma radiation in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and industrial testing facilities while maintaining fire integrity.
Key Features of Dorprime Lead Lined Doors
Engineered with unbroken high-density lead lining to deliver complete radiation protection without compromising durability or smooth architectural finishes.
Certified Radiation Protection
Lined with high-purity chemical lead sheeting (conforming to IS 7312) to attenuate scatter radiation, gamma rays, and high-energy X-rays in diagnostic and therapy rooms.
Heavy-Duty Reinforced Structure
Because lead adds substantial weight (up to 150kg+ per leaf), our doors feature internally gusseted steel skeletons or solid hardwood cores with heavy pivots to eliminate leaf sag.
Uniform Lead Lining
Lead sheets are cold-rolled and hydraulic-pressed continuously across the entire door leaf, eliminating voids, air bubbles, or seam thinnings where radiation could escape.
Leak-Proof Overlap Joints
Features precision lead-lined door frames and interlocking lead astragals that overlap the frame and wall joints, ensuring zero radiation leakage through gaps or latch cutouts.
Types of Lead Lined Radiation Shielding Doors
Available in both heavy-duty metal steel and architectural wooden configurations for hospitals, private clinics, and industrial facilities.
Metal Lead Lined Door
Constructed with 1.6mm heavy galvanized steel skin enclosing bonded 1.5mm–3mm pure lead sheeting and rigid mineral wool core. Designed for intense hospital traffic, CT suites, and linear accelerators.
Technical Highlights:
- Leaf Thickness: 45mm – 55mm
- Lead Shielding: 1mm to 3mm+ Pb
- Material: Heavy GI / SS 304
- Hardware: Heavy SS Pivots / Continuous Hinge
Wooden Lead Lined Door
Engineered solid core timber leaf with internal lead sheet core sandwiched between solid hardwood stiles and decorative architectural laminates or natural wood veneers.
Technical Highlights:
- Leaf Thickness: 40mm – 50mm
- Wood Type: Kiln-Seasoned Hardwood
- Finish: High-Pressure Laminate / Veneer
- Standards: AERB & IS 2202 Compliance

Advantages of Dorprime Lead Lined Doors
Lead lined doors are essential for environments where radiation protection is critical, such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, and industrial radiology facilities. Built with continuous lead lining and leak-proof overlapping joints.
Uncompromising Radiation Protection
Employs high-density chemical lead sheets that effectively stop ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays, fluoroscopy scatter), safeguarding medical personnel and visitors.
Creates a Secure Working Environment
Allows radiology suites, mammography rooms, and CT scan rooms to operate without concern of ambient radiation escaping into adjacent waiting lobbies or corridors.
Mandatory Regulatory Compliance
Fabricated to satisfy Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) and BARC radiation safety norms, guaranteeing approval during diagnostic center licensing audits.
Extreme Structural Rigidity
Designed with heavy-gauge steel framework and specialized load-bearing hardware that support high lead weights without racking, sagging, or jamming over time.
Customizable Shielding Gauges
Lead thicknesses are customized from 1.0mm to 3.5mm+ based on your medical physicist's room shielding calculations and specific radiology equipment output.
Low Maintenance & Smooth Duty Cycles
Equipped with precision roller latches, heavy door closers, and high-load pivots for effortless push/pull operation by healthcare staff with minimal lifetime servicing.
