Quick answer
Trolleys and pallet trucks wrecking ordinary doors at your Lanarkshire site? Double-acting impact traffic doors are built to be pushed through and swing back closed on their own, shift after shift.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Lanarkshire, 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.

Impact traffic doors in Lanarkshire: your questions
Which traffic door material suits our Lanarkshire 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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Lanarkshire 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 much do impact traffic doors cost in Lanarkshire?
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 Lanarkshire.
