Impact traffic doors in Chesham

The short version

Impact traffic doors for warehouses, kitchens, supermarkets and food production areas in Chesham. We survey the opening and the traffic, recommend the right leaf material and hinge type, then fit the doors with minimal disruption.

Town: Chesham
Postcode district: HP5
Area: Buckinghamshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.

What this work can involve

Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in Chesham 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 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Chesham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about impact traffic doors

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Chesham 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.

How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Chesham?

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.

Will traffic doors in Chesham 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.
