What we fit in Failsworth
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Failsworth, 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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Impact traffic doors in Failsworth: your questions
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Failsworth?
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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Failsworth 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 Failsworth 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.
