What to specify
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Christchurch 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 Dorset 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.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Christchurch?
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.
How much do impact traffic doors cost in Christchurch?
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 Christchurch.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Christchurch 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.
