What to specify
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
What this work can involve
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Cumbria, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Cumbria 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 Cumbria 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.
Will traffic doors in Cumbria 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.
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Cumbria?
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.
