Cold Room Door Specialists
The door is the hardest working part of any cold room. It is opened hundreds of times a week, knocked by trolleys and cages, and it has to seal perfectly every time it closes. When a cold room door starts to fail, warm air gets in, ice and condensation build up, the refrigeration works harder and the stock inside is put at risk.
Door repairs and replacements are one of our specialities. Since 1998 we have repaired and renewed cold room and freezer doors for restaurants, pubs, hotels, hospitals, shops and food businesses across London, Essex and the South East.
Cold Room Door Repairs
- Gaskets and seals: replacing split, flattened or perished door seals so the door closes tight again
- Door heaters: fixing failed heaters on freezer doors that let ice form and the door freeze shut
- Handles and locks: replacing broken or worn handles and catches
- Runners and guides: repairing sliding doors that stick, drop or no longer close properly
Our vans carry a range of common door spares, including handles, gaskets, door runners and guides, so many door repairs can be finished on the first visit.
Door and Frame Replacement
When a door or its frame has been badly damaged, a repair is not always enough. We replace complete cold room and freezer doors and frames, matching them to your existing room. Recently we replaced a twisted freezer door and frame at a London hospital, getting their cold storage back in full use.
Signs Your Cold Room Door Needs Attention
- Frost or ice building up around the door or frame
- Condensation or water on the floor near the door
- A door that no longer closes firmly on its own
- Visible splits or gaps in the gasket
- Refrigeration that seems to run more than it used to
Catching door problems early is usually quick and inexpensive. Leaving them can lead to bigger repairs, higher energy bills and lost stock. Regular coldroom maintenance picks these problems up before they cause trouble.
