What we fit in Manchester
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Manchester, 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 Manchester 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.

Frequently asked questions
Which traffic door material suits our Manchester site?
Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Manchester 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.
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Greater Manchester?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Greater Manchester, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
