Options that matter on site
- Wear protection. Kick plates and bumper strips take the knocks at trolley height.

- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- Hygienic surfaces. Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to regular wash-downs in food areas.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting traffic doors at the entrance to a picking zone to keep dust out of the main warehouse.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- Supplying rubber traffic doors for a busy pallet truck route in a parcel sorting warehouse.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Hexham 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.
