What we fit in Chelmsford
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Chelmsford 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
