Described herein is a door with a magnetic sealing mechanism. The door leaf houses a sliding element (guillotine) made from a material with low magnetic interaction. This guillotine has two magnets: the first keeps the guillotine retracted within its seat, while the second, when near a magnet interaction element on the door frame, pulls the guillotine out to create a tight seal when the door is closed. The second magnet's pull is stronger than the first, ensuring effective sealing.
