What to specify
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- 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.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Cheltenham 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Cheltenham 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.
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Cheltenham?
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.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Cheltenham?
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.
