Cold Room Door Handles

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.
