Options for impact traffic doors in Govan
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Door rules for workplaces in Scotland
Doors in Govan 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Govan?
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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Govan 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.
Will traffic doors in Govan 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.
