Options that matter on site
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Leaf choices. Polyethylene, rubber, insulated or stainless-faced leaves to suit the area.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
Door rules for workplaces in Scotland
Doors in East Kilbride 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Lanarkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
Will traffic doors in East Kilbride 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.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in East Kilbride?
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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our East Kilbride 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.
