What to specify
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Hygienic surfaces. Smooth, washable leaves suited to food and pharmaceutical areas.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Nelson 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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Nelson
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Nelson 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 Nelson?
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.
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Nelson?
Usually, yes. We replace leaves, hinges, kick plates and vision panels on most traffic doors, subject to parts availability. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering replacement parts.
