Quick answer
If your current swing doors in Seaham have cracked leaves, worn hinges or missing kick plates, we can repair them or fit a new pair matched to the trolleys and people that pass through every day.

Options that matter on site
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Seaham, 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Seaham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Seaham?
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.
Will traffic doors in Seaham 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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Seaham 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.
