What is a lead-lined door?

A lead-lined door is a standard wood or metal door with a continuous layer of lead sheet bonded internally to provide radiation shielding. It is used in X-ray rooms, CT scan suites, and other radiation-producing medical spaces as part of a complete structural shielding assembly. The door lead equivalency must match the lead equivalency of the surrounding walls.

How heavy is a lead-lined door?

Lead-lined doors are significantly heavier than standard doors. Weight depends on door dimensions and lead thickness. For example, a standard 36" x 80" door with 1/16" lead can weigh well over 150 lbs. Heavy-duty hinges rated for the door weight are required, and frame reinforcement is highly recommended.

What lead thickness do I need for a lead-lined door?

The required lead thickness is the same as the lead equivalency specified for the adjacent walls in your shielding report. For most general X-ray rooms, 1/32" or 1/16" lead is standard. Always consult your radiation physicist or local health authority to confirm the requirement before ordering.

Do you offer pre-hung lead-lined door packages?

Yes. Lead Glass Pro offers pre-hung door and frame packages that include the lead-lined door, adjustable frame, lockset, and hinges. Doors ship in 3-4 days with free shipping. Standard stock sizes are 36" x 80", 36" x 84", and 48" x 84" in 1/32" and 1/16" lead thicknesses. Custom sizes are available.

What is a radiation door?

A radiation door is any door designed and built to provide a continuous radiation shielding barrier in a room that produces ionizing radiation. In medical settings, radiation doors (typically lead-lined wood or metal doors) are required in all X-ray rooms, CT suites, fluoroscopy labs, and nuclear medicine areas to prevent radiation from escaping through doorways.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what lead thickness I need?

Lead shielding requirements depend on your room type and X-ray equipment. Always check with a radiation physicist or your local health department for the required lead equivalency.

Are these doors heavy?

Yes, lead lined doors are significantly heavier than standard doors. They require reinforced frames and heavy-duty hinges, especially for 1/16" or thicker lead. The full pre-hung package add-on includes heavy-duty hinges and lead lined hardware. Browse our door accessories and lead lined locksets pages.

What sizes do you stock?

Our most popular stock sizes are 36" x 80", 36" x 84" and 48" x 84", available in 1/32" and 1/16" lead thickness. Custom sizes are available upon request.

Can I add a window?

Yes. Choose from several standard vision lite sizes or request a custom window. Adding glass will increase fabrication time to 7–9 weeks.

What’s the difference between “wood door only,” “wood door with adjustable frame,” and the full pre-hung package?

Wood Door Only = No hardware, no frame, not prepped. Installer cuts and fits it.
Wood Door with Adjustable Frame = Lead-lined door plus adjustable steel frame.
Full Pre-Hung Package Add-On = Adds the lead lined lockset, heavy-duty hinges, and hardware package.

Buying guide

Choose the right setup

Option 1

Wood Door Only

Best for projects where the frame and hardware are already being handled separately. Includes the lead-lined solid core wood door with stain-grade birch veneer. Frame, hardware, and lock prep are not included.

Option 2

Wood Door with Adjustable Frame

Best for customers who want the lead-lined wood door plus an adjustable lead-lined steel frame. This is a cleaner starting package for many retrofit and new construction projects while keeping the base price lower.

Option 3

Full Pre-Hung Package Add-On

Select the checkbox on adjustable-frame sizes to add the full pre-hung package. This adds the lead lined lockset, heavy-duty hinges, and hardware for a more complete installation package.

Product detail

Add a vision lite without losing shielding protection

Choose from standard lead glass window sizes including 6 inch x 27 inch, 12 inch x 12 inch, 24 inch x 30 inch, and 24 inch x 42 inch. Window options are built into the product choices so customers can compare the full door configuration before checkout. Adding a window can increase fabrication time, especially for larger lites or custom requirements.
