Options that matter on site
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
What this work can involve
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Welwyn Garden City 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
Most installations in Welwyn Garden City can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Welwyn Garden City
Will traffic doors in Welwyn Garden City 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 much do impact traffic doors cost in Welwyn Garden City?
Our guide price is £895 to £2,495 ex VAT for a pair of impact traffic doors, supplied and fitted. Material, size, insulation and vision panels set the price, which we confirm in writing after a free survey in Welwyn Garden City.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Welwyn Garden City 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.
