What to specify
- 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.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let people and drivers spot someone coming the other way.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Fitting polyethylene traffic doors between a shop floor and stockroom where roll cages damage ordinary doors.
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Huyton 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.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Huyton
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Huyton?
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.
Will traffic doors in Huyton 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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Huyton 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.
