What we fit in Kirkcaldy

Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.

What this work can involve

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 Kirkcaldy 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in Fife the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Impact traffic doors in Kirkcaldy: your questions

Will traffic doors in Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy?

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.

Which traffic door material suits our Kirkcaldy 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.
