What we fit in County Durham
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in County Durham 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around County Durham vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
How much do impact traffic doors cost in County Durham?
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 County Durham.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our County Durham 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.
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in County Durham?
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.
