Options for impact traffic doors in Pimlico
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
What this work can involve
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Pimlico, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Greater London 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 Pimlico: your questions
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Pimlico 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 Pimlico?
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.
Will traffic doors in Pimlico 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.
