Options that matter on site
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
Typical scopes of work
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- 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 Thamesmead, 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.
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.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Will traffic doors in Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead 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.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Thamesmead?
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.
