Liberty Shielding supplies lead lined doors and frames for X-ray rooms, medical imaging facilities, hospitals, dental offices, veterinary facilities, laboratories, and other environments requiring radiation shielding.
Available in both wood and hollow metal construction, our radiation shielding doors incorporate sheet lead within the door assembly to maintain the required shielding barrier through door openings.
Need a lead lined door quickly? Our most popular stock lead lined wood doors ship in as little as 3 business days, with stocked door-and-frame packages available in approximately 5 business days.
Custom wood and hollow metal assemblies are also available for projects requiring different dimensions, lead thicknesses, preparations, or configurations.

Lead times represent typical production schedules and may vary according to quantity, configuration, lead thickness, preparation requirements, and current production capacity.
When project schedules are tight, waiting weeks for a custom radiation shielding door may not be an option.
Liberty Shielding stocks popular lead lined wood door sizes for shipment in approximately 3 business days.
Our wood doors feature a natural unfinished birch veneer, providing a clean architectural appearance that can be finished in the field to coordinate with the surrounding interior.
These doors are an excellent solution for X-ray room projects requiring standard dimensions and fast delivery.
Need the frame as well?
Stock lead lined wood door and frame packages are available in:
Complete door-and-frame packages are typically ready to ship in approximately 5 business days.
Using a compatible lead-lined frame helps maintain shielding continuity around the complete door opening rather than protecting only the door leaf.
For openings that don't match our stock configurations, Liberty Shielding manufactures custom lead lined wood doors and frames according to project requirements.
Custom assemblies can accommodate project-specific:
Typical lead time for custom wood doors and frames: approximately 8 weeks.
For projects requiring steel construction, Liberty Shielding also supplies lead lined hollow metal doors and frames.
Hollow metal assemblies are commonly specified in hospitals, imaging facilities, laboratories, industrial environments, and other commercial applications where durability and radiation protection are both required.
Each assembly can be manufactured according to the dimensions, lead shielding, and preparation requirements of the project.
Typical lead time for custom hollow metal doors and frames: approximately 5–6 weeks.
A standard wood or hollow metal door should not be assumed to provide the radiation attenuation required for an X-ray room.
A lead lined door incorporates sheet lead into the door construction to create a radiation barrier through the opening when the door is closed.
The lead thickness is selected according to the shielding requirements established for the room.
For complete protection, shielding continuity must also be maintained around the door frame, surrounding walls, vision lites, hardware penetrations, and other components of the opening.
The frame is an important part of a radiation-shielded door opening.
Installing a lead lined door into an unshielded frame can create a potential weak point around the perimeter of an otherwise properly protected opening.
A lead lined door frame incorporates shielding designed to continue the radiation barrier from the surrounding wall into the door opening.
For projects requiring a complete shielded opening, we recommend selecting the appropriate lead lined door and frame assembly rather than treating the door leaf as the only shielding component.
Both wood and hollow metal doors can provide effective radiation shielding when properly designed for the required lead equivalency.
The primary differences are construction, appearance, durability, and project requirements.
Wood doors provide the architectural appearance commonly found in medical offices, hospitals, clinics, and commercial interiors.
Our standard wood doors feature a natural unfinished birch veneer, allowing them to be stained or otherwise finished to coordinate with the project.
Hollow metal doors provide heavy-duty steel construction commonly specified for commercial, institutional, industrial, and high-traffic applications.
The project's architectural specifications, door schedule, hardware requirements, and desired appearance will generally determine which construction is appropriate.
One of the most common applications for these products is an X-ray room door.
Radiation shielding installed within the walls must continue through all openings in the room. A conventional door can create a significant interruption in that barrier.
A properly specified lead lined door helps maintain the shielding level required by the room's radiation protection design while providing normal access for patients and staff.
The required lead thickness should always be determined by the project's medical physicist, radiation safety officer, shielding report, or other qualified radiation professional.
Our radiation shielding doors and frames are used in:
The required amount of radiation shielding is project specific.
Do not select a lead thickness solely because it is commonly used on other X-ray rooms.
Required shielding can vary based on:
Always order the door according to the lead equivalency specified for that opening in the project's radiation shielding design.
Hardware is not included with the standard online door unless specifically stated in the selected product configuration.
Required hardware and preparations should be verified before ordering.
Depending on the project, the door may require preparation for components such as:
For custom doors, preparation requirements should be established before fabrication.
Some radiation-shielded rooms require visibility through the door.
Lead lined doors can be manufactured with lead glass vision lites when required by the project.
The lead equivalency of the glass and surrounding lite frame should correspond with the shielding requirements of the door opening.
Where the glazing is located in a hazardous location, an appropriate impact-resistant lead safety glass may also be required.
The door is only one component of a properly shielded X-ray room.
A complete radiation shielding system may include:
These components should work together to maintain the shielding requirements established for the room.
A lead lined door is a wood or metal door containing sheet lead within its construction. The lead provides radiation attenuation through the door opening when the door is closed.
Our standard 36" × 84" and 48" × 84" lead lined wood doors typically ship in approximately 3 business days.
Stock door-and-frame packages typically ship in approximately 5 business days.
Stock wood door-only sizes include:
36" × 84" and 48" × 84".
Stock wood door-and-frame configurations include:
36" × 80" and 36" × 84".
Our standard wood doors have a natural unfinished birch veneer.
The natural unfinished birch veneer can be field finished according to the project's architectural requirements. Follow appropriate finishing practices for the selected finish system.

Customer is responsible for unloading all freight shipments. Lead lined doors and frames are extremely heavy and require appropriate equipment and personnel for safe unloading and handling.
Prior to delivery, you must arrange for a forklift, loading dock, or other suitable equipment and personnel capable of safely unloading the shipment. Freight carriers are not responsible for unloading material from the truck unless a specific unloading service has been arranged in advance.
Failure to have the proper equipment, personnel, or facilities available to receive and unload the shipment is not grounds for refusing delivery, cancellation, or return.
The customer is responsible for any additional charges resulting from re-delivery, missed delivery attempts, storage, detention, or changes to the delivery address after the order has shipped.
By placing and proceeding with an order, the customer acknowledges and accepts these delivery requirements and agrees to the Liberty Shielding Terms & Conditions available at:
