To ensure total protection of a structural opening, a complete doorset is essential.

The construction for both hinged and sliding units will be based on the energy emitted by the x-ray or Gamma source, the structure and shielding composition of the surrounding walls, together with the work procedures of each specific room.

All doors have a solid core, lipped on the long edges but with the lead extending to the full door size. Hinged double doorsets with equal or unequal leaves have lead protected meeting stiles.

To ensure the quality and strength of our doorsets, standard door frames and lippings are of hardwood construction.

In addition to our standard design, doorsets can be produced to meet specific customer requirements e.g:

• to suit existing or new structural openings
• with frames or linings extended to suit any wall thickness

Doors are either supported on special heavy duty hinges or top hung sliding door gear, complete with pelmet, bottom guides etc.

Doorsets used in standard diagnostic applications are generally manufactured using lead to a British Standard (BS) thickness:

Heavier lead lined doorsets are manufactured for industrial or radiotherapy use. The construction techniques are different and it will be necessary to use heavy duty pivots or sliding door gear, with particular attention paid to shielding across the door threshold and into the floor.

Locks, lever furniture, pull handles, door closers, push, kick and trolley plates can be included. Other ironmongery supplied (subject to suitability) as a free issue will be fitted on request for a separate charge.

Doorsets are available primed for paint, veneered hardwood sealed for finishing or plastic laminate. The lipping can be extended to all edges. Door frames and linings are available in a range of timbers. The profiles can be lined with Acrovyn^® or similar protective plastic but limitation apply to certified fire doors.

These are supplied to a lead equivalent equal to that specified for the doors and can include Vistamatic^™ vision panels or blinds if required.
