What to specify
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
Typical scopes of work
- 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 England
Doors in Ramsgate 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.
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.

Your questions about impact traffic doors
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Ramsgate 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.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Ramsgate?
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.
Will traffic doors in Ramsgate 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.
