What we fit in Walkden
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.

Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Walkden 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
Sites in and around Walkden vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Walkden
Which traffic door material suits our Walkden 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 Walkden 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 Walkden?
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.
