Professional Guide: Daily Care and Maintenance of Lead Doors: The Key to Extending Their Lifespan

Lead doors, as essential components of medical and industrial radiation protection projects, are not only crucial for safety but also represent a significant investment. Proper daily maintenance can significantly extend their lifespan, ensuring their consistently reliable performance. As a professional lead door manufacturer, Shandong Qi Te Radiation Protection Engineering Co., Ltd. provides you with a detailed guide to daily lead door maintenance.

1. Daily Cleaning: Be Gentle to Avoid Damage

Cleaning the surface of lead doors is the first step in maintenance, and proper cleaning is crucial.

Use a Neutral Cleaner: When cleaning, use a soft, dry or damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of neutral detergent (such as diluted soap and water). Avoid using strong acids, strong bases, or corrosive or abrasive chemical solvents (such as toilet cleaners or scouring powders), as these can severely corrode the door's surface coating and lead layer.

Protect the Surface Finish: Modern lead doors often feature finishes such as stainless steel and plastic spraying. Avoid scratching with hard objects such as steel wool to prevent scratching the finish, which could affect the aesthetics and seal.

II. Core Component Maintenance: Ensure Smooth and Safe Operation

The smooth operation of a lead door depends on its core mechanical components, making these components a key area of maintenance.

Hinges and Slides: For swing doors, regularly apply a small amount of lubricant to the hinges to ensure smooth opening and closing. For sliding doors, inspect and clean the track grooves to ensure they are free of debris and lubricate the pulley bearings.

Door Locks and Handles: Regularly inspect the locks and handles for looseness or difficulty in operation, and tighten or lubricate them promptly.

III. Usage and Operating Standards: Develop Good Habits

Improper handling is one of the main causes of lead door damage.

Open and close gently: Avoid applying excessive force, rough banging, or forcibly dragging the door. Lead doors are heavy, and violent handling can severely damage the hinges, tracks, and even the door frame.

Ensure operating clearance: Before sliding the door, ensure there are no obstructions around the track and door to prevent jamming.

IV. Regular Professional Inspections: Preventing Problems

In addition to routine maintenance, regular professional inspections are also essential.

Inspecting the Sealing Strips: The sealing strips around the lead door are crucial for preventing radiation leakage. They should be regularly inspected for signs of aging, deformation, or damage. If any problems are found, contact a professional immediately for replacement.

Testing Protective Performance: After extended use, it is recommended to regularly perform radiation leakage tests using professional equipment to ensure that the lead equivalent of the lead door consistently meets safety standards. This is the ultimate guarantee of safety.
