Options that matter on site

Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.

Jobs we can carry out

Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.

Door rules for workplaces in Scotland

Doors in Thurso 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 Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about impact traffic doors

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Thurso 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.

Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Thurso?

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.

Which traffic door material suits our Thurso 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.
