Town: Bideford
Postcode district: EX39

Options that matter on site

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.
Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.

What this work can involve

Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
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 Bideford, 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about impact traffic doors

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Bideford 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 much do impact traffic doors cost in Bideford?

Our guide price is £895 to £2,495 ex VAT for a pair of impact traffic doors, supplied and fitted. Material, size, insulation and vision panels set the price, which we confirm in writing after a free survey in Bideford.

Will traffic doors in Bideford 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.
