Engineered Door Systems for Extreme Environments
Booth Industries has been at the forefront of the high-performance assurance market for over 150 years, specialising in the design, manufacture, and installation of certified engineered and bespoke multi-protection doorsets. Our expertise spans critical sectors such as nuclear, infrastructure, petrochemical, aviation, and defence, where we deliver tailored turnkey solutions to meet exact project requirements. With a heritage dating back to 1873, we have evolved from a family-run blacksmiths to a globally recognised leader in protection systems, maintaining a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and quality. Our in-house teams of chartered engineers, project managers, and manufacturing specialists ensure end-to-end project lifecycle support, from concept design to installation and maintenance. Holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 accreditations, we operate under stringent quality control frameworks, including QC Grade 1 nuclear standards, to guarantee reliability in the most demanding environments.Our investment in R&D, exceeding 1m annually, drives continuous improvement in blast resistance, fire integrity, and security technologies. We serve a diverse client base, including tier one contractors, government agencies, and international corporations, with a 24/7 after-sales service for global project support. Our manufacturing facilities in Bolton, equipped with advanced CNC machinery and testing capabilities, enable production of doorsets up to 80 tonnes, meeting international certifications such as ATEX and CPNI. With a focus on collaborative partnerships, we work alongside architects, consultants, and clients to translate complex performance criteria into engineered solutions that exceed expectations. Our dedication to safety is evidenced by the RoSPA Gold Award for 11 consecutive years, reflecting our zero-harm culture across 40+ years of offshore and nuclear operations.

Blast-Resistant Doorsets
Our blast doors are engineered to withstand extreme pressures from 2 to 15 Bar, incorporating finite element analysis and third-party verified designs. Constructed with reinforced steel and fragmentation protection, these doors maintain operational integrity post-blast while providing fire resistance. Applications include petrochemical facilities, military installations, and nuclear sites requiring simultaneous blast and security protection.
Nuclear-Qualified Systems
QC Grade 1 certified doorsets designed for nuclear safety cases, including seismic calculations and radiation shielding. These systems meet ASME NQA-1 standards with full traceability documentation, supporting reactor containment, waste storage, and weapons facility applications through rigorous testing and analysis.
Offshore Protection Solutions
Fully seal-welded stainless steel doors tested to IMO standards for offshore environments. Available in A0-A60 fire ratings and 3 Bar blast resistance, these systems incorporate corrosion-resistant hardware and ATEX-certified power operation for oil platforms and marine vessels operating in harsh climatic conditions.
High-Security Doorsets
CPNI and LPS-rated doors for government and critical infrastructure, featuring multi-layer protection against ballistic, forced entry, and surreptitious attacks. Custom configurations include anti-piracy shutters, electromagnetic sealing, and integrated access control systems for MoD sites and nuclear weapon facilities.
Project Engineering
End-to-end engineering support using AutoDesk and ANSYS software for mechanical, structural, and EC&I disciplines. Services include FE analysis, BIM Level 2 integration, and bespoke calculations for blast, thermal, and acoustic performance, ensuring compliance with BS EN 1090-2 and CDM regulations.
