In your configuration of bifold doors, the traffic door is basically an every-day door built into the aluminium door system – opening separately from the other folding doors.
In essence, it allows you to use a door for access inside and out, without needing to open the entire set. Much like a conventional door, it has its own locking mechanism, handle and opening, and can be opened easily from the inside or out. A concertina system traffic door can be either hinged to the door-frame, or attached the bifold door configuration itself. The traffic door can either be positioned far right, far left or in the middle or a configuration.

When might you not need a Traffic Door?
If you have a kitchen door or a back door providing access to the outside of the house, then often there is no need for a traffic door.
