- For the Doctor Who episode entitled "Air Lock", see Galaxy 4.
An airlock is a device which permits the passage of objects, people, and the like, between a pressure vessel and its surrounding space while minimizing the change of pressure—and loss of air—in the vessel. The lock consists of two airtight doors in series which do not open simultaneously.
