Cleanroom steel doors are a popular choice for their durability, cleanability, and ability to maintain a controlled environment.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the cleanroom steel door installation process, ensuring a proper and secure installation.
Pre-Installation
- Measure the Opening: Precise measurement of the cleanroom doorway is crucial. The door opening width and height must be slightly larger than the corresponding dimensions of the door frame to allow for proper installation and adjustment. Additionally, ensure the diagonal measurements of the opening are within 3mm of each other to maintain a square and level opening.
- Door Inspection: Carefully inspect the cleanroom steel door upon arrival. Verify that the door and frame are free from damage and match the specified dimensions and appearance. Remove any temporary protective strips from the bottom of the door.

Installation Process
1. Door Frame Installation:
- Positioning: Carefully remove the door leaf from the frame. Position the door frame within the cleanroom opening, ensuring proper alignment with the floor and wall. Utilize leveling tools like lasers to achieve precise horizontal and vertical orientation.
- Fastening: Secure the door frame to the surrounding wall panels using self-tapping nails. Double-check that the frame sits flush against the wall surface. Re-measure the diagonals of the frame to confirm there is no distortion exceeding 3mm.
2. Door Leaf Installation:
- Hanging the Door: Reattach the door leaf to the hinges on the frame. Meticulously inspect the gap between the door and the frame for consistency throughout the entire perimeter.
- Adjustment: Minor adjustments to the hinges might be necessary to achieve a uniform gap around the door. Utilize specialized tools for hinge adjustments to ensure proper alignment and operation.

3. Lock Installation:
- Lockset Assembly: Following the manufacturer's instructions, install the lockset components. This typically involves inserting the lock body and square steel into the designated slots, followed by securing them with fastening screws.
- Handle and Cylinder: Attach the door handle and lock cylinder according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Tighten all screws securely.
- Testing: Once the lockset is fully assembled, thoroughly test its functionality to ensure smooth operation and proper locking/unlocking mechanisms.
4. Sealing Strip Adjustment:
Final Touches: The final step involves adjusting the bottom door seal to ensure proper contact with the floor surface. This creates a tight seal, minimizing air infiltration and maintaining the cleanroom environment.
