Cold room handle types and how to choose the right one

With such a wide range of cool room door handles, it can be hard to know which is suited to your requirements.

Our simple guide to cold room handles should help you decide which of the different types is right for you:

Internal vs. external handles

Internal handles – Installed on the inside of the cold room door, these handles offer safety release and easy access from within, great for industries concerned with entrapment. Use alongside entrapment alarms for extra security.
External handles – Mounted on the outside, these exterior handles are suitable for opening from outside the room and are often used in robust, heavy-use environments.

Sliding vs. hinged door handles

Sliding door handles – Designed to grip and slide doors smoothly, these pull handles are ideal where space is restricted, as they leave no clearance zone.
Hinged door handles – Common for traditional walk-in cold rooms and freezers, these room door handles provide ergonomic grip and leverage to make opening and closing easier.

Locking vs. non-locking handles

Locking handles – If your site needs extra security, these handles ensure secure closure and key control, great for spaces with restricted access needs.
Non-locking handles – For less security-focused sites, like general cold storage, where easy access is more important than restricting ingress.

Cold room handle FAQs

Can I replace cold room door handles without changing the whole door?

Generally speaking, most handles can be replaced as a stand-alone spare part during maintenance or repair.

This means that if they become damaged or stop functioning, they can be quickly and easily replaced without spending a fortune!

Do all door handles come with locks?

Cold room door handles can come with locks or without. This is because some businesses need different lock types and security levels, which can't be solved with a single lock type.

For this reason, you need to check the product specifications of the handles you are considering to ensure they meet your business requirements.

If you’re unsure or want to double-check before you order, our team can check your selection, so feel free to contact us today for help.

Do internal handles work on all doors?

Unfortunately, external door handles don't include the safety release mechanisms to stop entrapment and can feature locking lever mechanisms, which aren't needed from the inside. For this reason, you'll need to order a new external handle.

How should door handles be cleaned?

For easy cleaning and maintenance, modern cold room door handles are generally simple and fuss-free to clean.

During every service, simply wipe the handle with warm water and a mild detergent to remove dirt, grease, and bacteria.

You should not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals to avoid damaging the material or finish.

If your business handles food preparation or other hygiene-critical goods, you may need to follow your site's specific cleaning schedule and products.
