Options that matter on site
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Harwich 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
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.

Questions from businesses in Harwich
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Harwich?
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.
Which traffic door material suits our Harwich 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.

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.
