The short version
Trolleys and pallet trucks wrecking ordinary doors at your Consett site? Double-acting impact traffic doors are built to be pushed through and swing back closed on their own, shift after shift.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Consett 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
For busy sites in County Durham 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.
