Overview
PBSC’s APR Mechanical Seal door sets for high containment facilities, also known as High Containment Doors, Hospital Doors, Lab Doors, Laboratory Doors, Stainless Steel Doors, APR Doors, and Cleanroom Doors, are designed to create a reliable airtight barrier. This is achieved by using a robust yet flexible seal that is manually compressed against the doorframe. The seal doesn’t need compressed air, making it a fail-safe option in case of a power outage.
A highly specialised solution designed for controlled environments…
The Mechanical Seal Door Sets designed by PBSC work for all containment applications, with stainless-steel and machined HPL door leaves as options. Both door leaves are tested up to 2500PA (10” W.G.). The door set can be connected to an access control system if required.
The door frame features a stainless steel arm that can easily compress the combed edge against the seal. This mechanical mechanism is installed within the frame, which ensures that the door is lighter and easier to maintain.
Operating the door is easy and can be done with one hand from either side of the door.
PBSC offers an Access Control System for building entrances, centrally managed via a PBSC control panel, which is available upon request.

- Cleanroom Glass Door Set: This set has a showpiece appearance and exceptional functionality. It contains a toughened glass door leaf and a clean stainless-steel frame.
- Cleanroom Stainless Steel Door Set: This is a well-engineered, robust steel door system with a seamless frame and flush vision panel.
- Cleanroom Phenolic Door Set: Made with chemical grade phenolic resin, perfect for labs, cleanrooms, and corrosive environments.
Innovation. Design. Quality.
Available in:
- Stainless Steel
- Phenolic Resin
Both are constructed from 5mm and 3mm stainless steel sections with radiused corners.
This system is fitted with robust linkage for long-term durability.
Airtight Barrier – A robust and flexible seal is manually compressed against the doorframe, forming an effective barrier against leakage. This design operates without the need for compressed air, ensuring fail-safe performance even during a power outage.
Materials of construction:
- 304 Stainless Steel
- 316 Stainless Steel
Sub-Frame type:
- Bolted Sub-Frame (Stud Partition, Block, or Modular Partition Wall) – 5mm zintec steel to be fixed into the wall to form the engineered structural opening. Available with a compression seal to the door frame.
- Cast-In Door Frame (Concrete Wal) – The door frame is designed to be fully cast into the wall at the time of shuttering. The door frame is filled with concrete during the casting process and no site welding or grout fill is required. The door frame is designed with stops for the performance coating.
- Cast Sub-Frame (Concrete Wall) – 5mm stainless steel grade 304 to be cast into the concrete walls to form the structural opening. Available with a compression seal or welded seal to the door frame. If welded, please advise if the frame will require grout filling on-site.
- Radius double-glazed vision panel with 6mm thick toughened glass panes.
- Small Squire double-glazed vision panel with 6mm thick toughened glass panes.
Both options are bonded to the top section of the door panel for a flush finish to both sides, with various sizes available depending on your project needs.
Following on-site installation, PBSC offers a Planned Preventative Maintenance and Servicing Plan with an extensive after-sales support service, including planned preventative maintenance programs, servicing, and spare parts.

Applications
Creating a dependable airtight barrier...
Our range of mechanical seal doors are ideal for high-containment applications, especially in BSL3 and BSL4 labs. These doors have a raised threshold that creates a natural bund, aiding in the containment of liquid during washdown.
