Impact traffic doors in St Austell

The short version

If your current swing doors in St Austell have cracked leaves, worn hinges or missing kick plates, we can repair them or fit a new pair matched to the trolleys and people that pass through every day.

Town: St Austell
Postcode district: PL25
Area: Cornwall
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.

What this work can involve

Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.

Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in St Austell 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Cornwall 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which traffic door material suits our St Austell 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.

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our St Austell 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.

Can you repair our existing traffic doors in St Austell?

Usually, yes. We replace leaves, hinges, kick plates and vision panels on most traffic doors, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering replacement parts.
