What to specify
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
Door rules for workplaces in Scotland
Doors in Penicuik 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Which traffic door material suits our Penicuik site?
Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Edinburgh and the Lothians, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Penicuik 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.
