Options for impact traffic doors in Darwen
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Double-acting. Push through from either side and the leaves close themselves behind you.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
What this work can involve
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Darwen 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Lancashire 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.
