Trolleys and pallet trucks wrecking ordinary doors at your Kirkby site? Double-acting impact traffic doors are built to be pushed through and swing back closed on their own, shift after shift.

- Area

- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Wear protection. Replaceable kick plates and bumpers protect the leaves where trolleys hit most.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
What this work can involve
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Kirkby, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.
How the work is organised
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.

Impact traffic doors in Kirkby: your questions
How much do impact traffic doors cost in Kirkby?
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 Kirkby.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Kirkby 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.
Can you repair our existing traffic doors in Kirkby?
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.
