Cold Room Doors

Within industries that utilise cold room doors, entrapment is always an important safety consideration.

This is especially true for self-closing doors, which help you to reduce the amount of time the door stays open for – but do run a slightly higher likelihood of trapping people inside.

If staff get trapped within cold room chillers and freezers, the outcome at best will be cold and unpleasant, and at worst, cause life-threatening hypothermia.

For this reason, whether or not you are opting for self-closing doors, there are a few health and safety essentials we also encourage you to install, including viewing windows and entrapment alarms.

• Viewing windows

Fitted in the cold room door itself, they allow for easier observation and can make tasks like stock taking and safety checks easier, faster, and also mean you have to open the door less – saving you energy!

• Entrapment alarms

Entrapment alarms ensure your staff stay safe by giving staff a specific alarm button to push in case they become trapped.

To add a viewing window to your cold room door or find replacement entrapment alarm parts, contact the team on 01886 833 381 or by emailing spares@mtcss.co.uk.

Though heavily insulated and designed to trap cooled air in, cold room doors shouldn’t be especially heavy when in use, as this can lead to accidents and injuries.

So, if you have a very large cold room, why not consider a sliding cold room door or a double-hinged door?

Both offer easy opening and excellent energy efficiency – just without the struggle of pulling open a heavy door!

Simply put, yes!

Just as fire-resistant doors rely on intumescent seals to stop the passage of smoke, cold room doors use seals to help keep in temperature-regulated air and keep out warm air from outside.

As such, intact and well-fitting cold room door gaskets and seals mean your walk-in chiller or freezer refrigerant system doesn’t need to work harder, and the cooled air already generated can be retained.
