Options that matter on site
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
What this work can involve
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Workington, 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
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Workington
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Workington?
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.
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Cumbria?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Cumbria, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Will traffic doors in Workington 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.
