Options for impact traffic doors in West Sussex
- 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.
- Impact-tolerant. Built to take repeated knocks from roll cages and pallet trucks without damage.
- No power needed. With no electrics to fail, traffic doors keep working with very little upkeep.
- Vision panels. Clear panels at eye level so people see each other before pushing through.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a steel subframe to a lightweight partition so new traffic doors can take repeated impacts.
- Renewing cracked leaves, kick plates and gravity hinges on traffic doors in a busy service corridor.
- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in West Sussex 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
Most installations in West Sussex can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Which traffic door material suits our West Sussex 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.
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our West Sussex 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.
Will traffic doors in West Sussex help keep areas warm or cool?
They cut draughts and help separate temperature zones, particularly with insulated leaves. For chillers and freezers, a dedicated cold store door is needed, sometimes with traffic doors or strips used inside.
