Options for impact traffic doors in Gateshead
- Impact-tolerant. Polyethylene and rubber leaves flex or absorb knocks from trolleys and trucks.
- Double-acting. Leaves open both ways and swing back to centre on their own.
- Hinge options. Rising-cam gravity hinges or spring hinges matched to leaf weight.
- No power needed. No motors, sensors or controls to maintain.
- Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.

Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Gateshead, 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.
