- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Ampthill, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Bedfordshire?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Bedfordshire, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Which traffic door material suits our Ampthill 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.
Will traffic doors in Ampthill help keep areas warm or cool?
They cut draughts and help separate temperature zones, particularly with insulated leaves. For chillers and freezers, a dedicated cold store door is needed, sometimes with traffic doors or strips used inside.
