Options for impact traffic doors in Dorset
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- 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.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Dorset, 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
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Dorset?
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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Dorset 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.
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around the South West?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across the South West, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
