What to specify
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Gillingham, 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Gillingham 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 Kent?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Kent, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Gillingham?
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.
