Options that matter on site

Hinge options. Gravity or spring closing, chosen to suit the weight of the leaves and the traffic.
Leaf choices. Choose a leaf for toughness, hygiene, insulation or appearance depending on where it hangs.
No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
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

Replacing single-swing kitchen doors with stainless-faced double-acting doors and vision panels at eye level.
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 Sutton Coldfield 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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Impact traffic doors in Sutton Coldfield: your questions

Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Sutton Coldfield 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 long does it take to fit traffic doors in Sutton Coldfield?

A pair of traffic doors usually takes a few hours to fit once made to size. Work can often be done between shifts or outside opening hours, so normal operations are barely affected.

Which traffic door material suits our Sutton Coldfield site?

Polyethylene suits most warehouse and food areas, rubber takes heavier pallet truck impacts, insulated leaves help in chilled areas and stainless steel suits kitchens. We recommend one after seeing your traffic and cleaning needs.
