Which Parts Are Most Commonly Replaced on Cold Room Doors?

Your cold room door is how you move product and people in and out of your chiller or freezer cold room. If you don’t have an insulated door for your walk in cold room – then the cold room is rendered pretty much useless!

That is why it is so important to ensure your hinged or sliding door is fully functioning. It ensures your business and its processes can run smoothly, without any interruptions caused by poorly maintained doors.

MTCSS stocks a huge range of cold room door parts to ensure these interruptions don’t occur. So which parts are most commonly replaced on cold room doors?

Commonly Replaced Parts on Hinged Insulated Doors

Hinged cold room doors are predominantly used for pedestrian access and moving your products in and out of your walk-in cold room on cages or pallets. Insulated doors ensure the internal temperature of your chiller or freezer is maintained, so you want to ensure your door is working optimally – otherwise you are at risk of damage to your products and your refrigeration unit needing to work harder.

Access to spare parts at short notice, or even stocking your own cold room door parts, can be the difference between your door functioning and your business having issues with the temperature of your cold room and accessing your products.

MTCSS have hinged cold room spares to solve your problems :

• cold room door gaskets are often damaged by cages moving in and out of the room and bottom gaskets can need to be replaced due to poor maintenance
• cold room door hinges can be damaged by over-extension of the door when opened by staff members
• inner cold room handles can be effected by the cold room being overstocked – meaning handles get caught on cages and can be damaged or ripped off
• external cold room handles are often broken by employees yanking handles when opening the doors
• door protection inside and outside of the cold room can be dented and scratched due to impact damage

The MTCSS Spares team can help identify parts which you may need to replace, or you can order parts directly from our website.

Commonly Replaced Parts on Sliding Cold Room Doors

Sliding cold room doors tend to have more parts which can be damaged or go wrong due to the sliding track system. But as long as your door is well maintained, you will have no problems keeping your sliding door working optimally.

Parts of your sliding doors which are often damaged include:

• sliding door gaskets can be damaged if the doors are not opened correctly, or staff are using the gasket to pull the door shut. They can also be damaged by poor maintenance and poor door installation
• external cold room handles can be damaged by the door being pulled open by excessive force
• damage to sliding top rollers can be caused by general wear and tear or by poor door maintenance
• floor mounted guide shoes are often damaged by impact from roll cages or forklifts
• door mounted lower guide rails are impaired by poor door maintenance, poor door installation and impact damage
