Signs You Need To Change Your Cold Room Door Gasket

All cold rooms need an access and exit point to allow people and products to more freely in and out of your chiller or freezer cold room – but how important is it to ensure your cold room door is in optimum condition?

The answer is – crucial. A poorly functioning cold room door can result in multiple problems, including:

• Difficulty opening the door, resulting in personnel being trapped in your cold room, or injury from yanking the door
• Warm air entering the cold room making your refrigeration unit work harder, resulting in increased energy usage – or worse, damage to products and loss of products
• Ice build-up around the door (in freezer cold rooms) posing a health and safety issue

Cold room door gaskets are a vital part of your cold room door functioning optimally and keeping your employees and your products safe – as well as avoiding the issues mentioned above. Checking your cold room door for any visible problems on a regular basis can help you keep on top of your door maintenance.
