Which workplace rules apply to these doors?

For premises in Forres, 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Forres 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.

Your questions about impact traffic doors

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Forres 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.

Will traffic doors in Forres 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.

Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Forres?

Usually, yes. We replace leaves, hinges, kick plates and vision panels on most traffic doors, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering replacement parts.
