Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Harpenden, 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.

Questions from businesses in Harpenden

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Harpenden 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 Hertfordshire?

Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Hertfordshire, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.

How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Harpenden?

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.
