A door system and a method of making a door system including a metal door, a metal door frame for the metal door, and one or more door frame seals. The metal door and the metal door frame each include a steel outer surface with a first metal layer in contact with and that encapsulates or covers the steel outer surface, and a second metal layer in contact with and that encapsulates or covers the first metal layer. The first metal layer is different from the second metal layer. The first metal layer can be optional. The door frame seals are located on the metal door frame and provide conductivity between the metal door and the metal door frame. The door system preferably has an acceptable sound transmission class rating and RF shielding properties.

A sliding door system and method is used in an enclosure that defines an inner area shielded against a High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (“HEMP”). The HEMP shielded sliding door system includes an RF shielding door frame, an RF shielding door leaf mounted within an mechanical door leaf frame, a mechanical insertion and retraction assembly attached to both the mechanical door leaf frame and RF shielding door leaf and that operates to extend and retract the RF shielding door leaf into and out of the RF shielding door frame, a drive tube assembly operable to interact with and open and close mechanical door leaf frame (along with RF shielding door leaf) in a sliding motion, and a control assembly, including motor and an air regulator assembly. HEMP shielding air seals are activated when the RF shielding door leaf is inserted into the RF shielding door frame.

An electromagnetic radiation (EMR) resistant door system is disclosed herein. The EMR door system comprises a shutter door, and at least one conducting substrate disposed on and extending along the height of the shutter door in a manner that the conducting substrate is facilitated to move in accordance with the movement of the shutter door. The EMR-resistant door system further comprises at least one conducting wire connected to the at least one conducting substrate attached to the shutter door along the entire length of the at least one conducting substrate on the shutter door, the at least one conducting wire linked to ground, thereby forming an electrical conduit from a top end of the shutter door to a bottom end of the shutter door, wherein the electrical conduit is connected to a permanent ground.

A radio frequency (RF) and acoustic shielded door that has a door leaf with an acoustically insulated core. The perimeter of the door leaf is banded with a conductive contact channel, which is electro-mechanically bonded to a shielding media that is applied to the door face. A conductive angled contact is mechanically attached at a bottom of the door. An acoustic or radio frequency gasket seal assembly is attached to the door frame, and the gasket seal assembly is adjustable so that a complete seal can be formed around the head, jamb and sill of the door.

Electromagnetically shielding an enclosable structure having a floor, walls, a ceiling, and at least one closeable opening by applying a shielding wallcovering to at least a portion of one of the walls and applying a second type of shielding material to at least a portion of the enclosable structure, wherein the second type of shielding material differs from the shielding wallcovering. The shielding wall covering is wallpaper comprising a metal-coated broad good and a resin. Other types of shielding material may include a transparent, shielding window covering such as NiCVD coated screen of woven silk fibers; shielded flooring such as a layered combinations of Kevlar non-woven as a base layer, nickel-coated non-woven layers, and a PCF toughened polymer; and a transition shielding strip made of a base layer of the shielding wallpaper with a PCF toughened polymer coating over a portion of the strip.
