Door Seal problems

Do you know what part of your commercial refrigerator is likely  to suffer most of the wearing and tearing?  If you guessed the door and gasket, then you are right.

While you may not see any visible signs that you have a faulty gasket, you will notice things like the fridge is not cooling the way it used to or you might see a sudden spike in your electric bill.

Commercial Refrigeration Unit Maintenance

Commercial refrigeration equipment requires periodic maintenance to work at peak efficiency and prevent costly repairs.

Cool Seal Gaskets services all types of commercial refrigeration equipment regardless of manufacturer including hard-to-fit, outdated, or equipment that is no longer manufactured. Services are limited to non-mechanical  maintenance issues related to the replacement of door gaskets, hardware, or components.

Cool Seal Gaskets specializes in the fabrication and installation of replacement door gaskets on commercial refrigeration units. Commercial refrigeration equipment is utilized in every business that requires the storage of perishables from food to flowers. Regular maintenance is the key to preventing expensive repairs and loss of stored product that can quickly spoil when not held at the proper temperature.

The vast majority of refrigerators and freezers in commercial use, regardless of manufacturer, utilize a magnetic door seal to prevent cold air leakage. The entire door edge is fitted with a continuous vinyl strip containing a flat magnet that is compressed when the door is closed. This device, commonly called a “gasket”, is miter cut and heat welded to the exact specifications of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to fit each refrigeration unit by make, model, and year of manufacture.

Why we are different

Cool Seal Gaskets offers a vital service for commercial businesses that extends refrigeration equipment life while reducing energy consumption (saves money on utility bills) and eliminating health department compliance issues (related to refrigeration). Cool Seal Gaskets offers a specialty service marketed directly to businesses that utilize commercial refrigerators. Our customers can realize a 30% to 50% savings on gasket repair when compared to in-house maintenance or a commercial refrigeration mechanical contractor.

Fridge Door Seal Experts – ready when you need us most

In a commercial environment, gaskets are subject to extreme wear and tear due to the constant opening and closing of the door (cycling). Because gasket performance can radically affect cooling efficiency, operational costs, and health department compliance, they are a “consumable item” designed to be replaced periodically. On commercial refrigeration units in low-volume settings, door gaskets are normally replaced every 12-months. Units in high-volume locations may need gasket replacement in 6-month intervals.

Scheduled Service. You call us when your gaskets need replacement or your refrigerator door hardware fails and we will be at your location within 48-72 hours. The actual repair may take longer based on the availability of your equipment’s gasket profile and size.
