We are purchasing an additional steel clad shield room for our compliance lab. The chambers all appear to carry a 5 year warranty but the doors carry a 1 year warranty. There must be a reason why the door has a much shorter warranty period than the rest of the chamber.
We currently have 2 chambers. One is a used chamber from Universal Shielding that we have used for going on 7 years and the door works great, despite being moved 3 times while we have owned it. The other is a relatively new chamber built by Panashield that we have had for roughly 3 years. No problem with this door either. Both have a smooth engagement and can be easily operated with one hand on the handle. Our maintenance has been minimal, perhaps insufficient for prolonged trouble-free service. Can you share with us what experiences you have had with doors of your steel clad chambers? If you could share such things as chamber vendor, hinge adjustments, door maintenance recommended and performed, warranty claims and length of time without problems, that would help us understand the 1 year policy. Anyone have any interesting stories?
