What we fit in Carlisle
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Carlisle 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Cumbria 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.

Impact traffic doors in Carlisle: your questions
Which traffic door material suits our Carlisle 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 Carlisle?
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.
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Carlisle?
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.
