Blast Doors
Custom Blast Resistant Doors Engineered for Critical Protection
Blast resistant doors are specialized safety systems designed to withstand explosive overpressure, dynamic blast forces, impact loads, and flying debris in high-risk industrial environments. These doors play a critical role in protecting personnel, equipment, and infrastructure within hazardous facilities where safety and structural resilience are paramount.
Prolux specializes in the engineering and supply of custom blast resistant doors designed to perform across a wide range of blast load requirements — from low pressure protection to very high blast resistance levels for mission-critical installations.
Built with advanced structural design, high-strength materials, and precision manufacturing, Prolux blast doors are developed to meet the demanding requirements of industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, defense, and industrial processing facilities.
Our blast door solutions deliver the perfect balance of structural integrity, operational reliability, and safety compliance, ensuring dependable protection even in the most extreme operating environments.
Custom Blast Resistant Doors
Reliable protection is critical in facilities exposed to blast risks. When high performance and dependable protection are required, organizations rely on Prolux for engineered blast resistant door solutions.
Prolux supplies custom-designed blast resistant doors built to meet the specific blast load and operational requirements of each project, ensuring long-term safety, structural integrity, and reliable performance in critical environments.
Blast Door Types and Configurations
Electric Power Door manufactures blast doors in multiple configurations to suit a wide range of facility layouts and operational needs:
- Swinging Blast Doors – Available in single or double swing designs for personnel and equipment access.
- Sliding Blast Doors – Ideal for large openings where swing clearance is limited.
- Vertical Lift Blast Doors – Commonly used for vehicle access points and high-clearance applications.
Each configuration is engineered to meet required blast loads while maintaining smooth, reliable operation.
Blast Resistant Door Design Capabilities
We supply blast doors engineered to withstand both static and dynamic blast events. Door panels, frames, hardware, and anchoring systems are designed as a complete assembly to ensure structural integrity throughout the blast duration.
Fire-labeled blast doors are also available. 3-hour fire-rated doors have been tested in accordance with the following standards:
Blast Resistant Door Automation & Control
- Power Operators – Electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic operators designed to automate even the heaviest blast doors.
- Automated Latching Systems – Local or remote operation with full manual override capability for emergency situations.
- Security Controls – Integration with building management and security systems for monitoring and control.
Hardware & Structural Design
