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

What to specify
- 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.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- 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 Cardiff, 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, as it applies in Wales, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around South Glamorgan?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across South Glamorgan, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Cardiff 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 much do impact traffic doors cost in Cardiff?
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 Cardiff.
