What to specify
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Hythe 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.

Questions from businesses in Hythe
Will traffic doors in Hythe 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.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Hythe?
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.
Which traffic door material suits our Hythe 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.
