These need to be fire resistant and provide 45-47dB acoustic attenuation, so sounds from the theatre doesn't carry to the outside of the building thereby creating environmental noise problems.
Booth's work is part of the larger redevelopment of The Point Village.
One of the walls of the theatre will be knocked out and extended to create an arena with a capacity of more than 14,000.
The development will also include an underground car park, cinema, shopping centre, a small 2,000 seat theatre, a hotel and a 35-storey tower with offices, retail and 150 residential units.
Barry Gregson from Booth Industries said: "It's great to be involved in such a prestigious project and use our expertise to face the challenge of creating doors of such considerable size, which need to offer very best in terms of fire protection and sound-proofing".
