Shielding Doors for Radiation

Shielding doors for radiation are a crucial component in labs, hospitals, medical facilities, and industrial settings that handle radioactive material on a regular basis.

When properly installed and maintained, shielding doors block harmful emissions, preventing radioactive particles from spreading from one area to another, for the protection of personnel and the surrounding environment.

Because of the critical role they play in ensuring health and safety, shielding doors require regular maintenance to remain functional. Vortex service teams prevent leaks and weaknesses from compromising your operation by checking and servicing essential parts before they break and expose your facility to harmful emissions.

Our proactive approach identifies potential problems before they escalate into significant occupational hazards, allowing for timely repairs and replacements that optimize performance while also extending the lifespan of your doors. Our expertise extends to all aspects of shielding doors, including:

  • Radiation Seals. Seals prevent dangerous particles from leaking out through gaps in the frame. However, repeated use can damage their integrity, increasing the likelihood of leaks. To restore their function, Vortex teams remove the old seal and clean the area before replacing it to ensure proper containment of radiation.
  • Hinges. Loose, damaged, or misaligned hinges prevent doors from closing properly. Tightening and lubricating hinges allows doors to operate smoothly, while replacing worn screws, pins, and hinges ensures they maintain an effective seal.
  • Electronic Components. Faulty sensors, wiring, and control panels undermine the safe operation of radiation doors. Vortex teams inspect the door’s power supply, calibrate sensors, tighten loose connections, replace bad wires, and check for corrosion that could interfere with electronic communication.

Vortex works with businesses across a broad range of industries, ensuring their shielding doors remain an effective barrier against radiation. We have been providing best-in-class commercial door repair and maintenance services since 1937. Fast, reliable, and professional, our technicians are trained with the latest knowledge and equipment necessary to repair and upgrade doorways designed to contain hazardous materials.

We've used Vortex on our dock levelers and roll up doors in the past and have always had tremendous response time and service from them. Last night however they went above and beyond that built expectation. We had a leveler spring chain break right at closing and we had no way to secure our building. Vortex (Daniel was their technician) arrived and did a fantastic job getting getting our dock leveler down. For other Ops Mgr's our there, I was able to witness first hand how safe and diligent these guys operate. Thanks Vortex!
