Cold storage doors can mean the life or death of the quality of your product. Don’t let escaping air potentially ruin your livelihood.
Freezer doors need to be energy-efficient and handle the toughest of applications. Whether you need glass cold storage doors, insulated freezer doors, insulated panel doors, insulated storage doors or used cold storage doors, it is imperative to find the right fit for your frame and your business.
To find cooler doors online:
1. Find an online company that seems to fit your needs.
2. Work with the cold storage door manufacturer’s representative to find the right product for you. Don’t just base your purchasing decision on what you think you know.
3. Have the cold storage door installed, and utilize any training that the company offers you.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Go with a high tech cold storage door
Check out cooler doors from Rite-Hite Doors or Chase Doors for some of the latest technology.
I recommend: Rite-Hite Doors gives you the FasTrax FR, an energy-efficient cold storage door that combines their Thermal Air System with an InsulMax curtain. Also of note is their Glider Door System, their Barrier Fold Cold Storage door and their Iso-Teck door system.
Chase Doors uses their ColdGuard system to provide you a strong and durable freezer door. They offer sliding, swinging, vertical overhead, insulated traffic and strip doors.
Think affordable cold storage doors or curtains
Companies like DACO Corp. and Jamison provide you with affordable, high quality cold storage products.
I recommend: DACO Corp. offers a nice variety of Air Curtains and Air Doors. They do this by making doors and curtains that blow a controlled stream of air down across the doorway. This allows you to keep the indoor air in and outdoor air out.
Jamison sells a plyfoam door that is filled with 4" of non-CFC polyurethane insulation. They strive to give you operating efficiency and energy savings. They can create new doors or retrofit old ones.
Replace existing freezer doors
If the insulation or the quality of your old door is well past its prime, consider upgrading to a new door to save you money on your electric bill as well as less product lost.
I recommend: Try
Frank Door Company for custom-made freezer doors for new or existing walk-in freezers.
American Cooler sells standard size replacement doors, or they can create you a new custom fit door.
Find unique retailers for your cold storage door
There are even more cold storage door retailers that sell efficient and unique products that are cheaply maintained.
I recommend: Price a
DYNACO Rapid Roll Up Door, or look at the
AirSeal Doors by EnviroDoors.
