Impact traffic doors in Dalkeith

In short

If your current swing doors in Dalkeith 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.

Town: Dalkeith
Postcode district: EH22
Area: Edinburgh and the Lothians
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.

What this work can involve

Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Dalkeith, 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Impact traffic doors in Dalkeith: your questions

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Dalkeith 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.

Will traffic doors in Dalkeith 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.

How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Dalkeith?

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.
