Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
What this work can involve
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Lancaster 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
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.

Impact traffic doors in Lancaster: your questions
How much do impact traffic doors cost in Lancaster?
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 Lancaster.
Which traffic door material suits our Lancaster 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.
Will traffic doors in Lancaster 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.
