What to specify
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- 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.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Wickford, 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Essex?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Essex, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Will traffic doors in Wickford 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 Wickford 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.
