What we fit in Aberdeen
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
Door rules for workplaces in Scotland
Doors in Aberdeen workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Aberdeen warehouse?
Generally not. Forklifts are too heavy and fast for most traffic doors and quickly damage the leaves. For forklift routes we would usually recommend a high-speed door or a strip curtain instead.
Which traffic door material suits our Aberdeen site?
Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Aberdeen?
A pair of traffic doors usually takes a few hours to fit once made to size. Work can often be done between shifts or outside opening hours, so normal operations are barely affected.
