Cold Room Door Details for Walk-In Coolers and Freezers

A heated frame is recommended for freezer applications where frost buildup, ice-up, door sweating, or door-stick are recurring problems. The heated jamb warms the door perimeter to prevent ice formation at the seal. It is particularly critical on larger sliding freezer doors and in high-humidity environments where temperature differentials are most extreme.

Swing replacement doors are available in widths from 30" to 60" and heights of 76" to 84" for freezers, and 78" to 130" for coolers. Sliding doors range from 36"x78" up to 12'x12' for coolers and 47"x78" to 96"x120" for freezers. Custom sizes are also available for non-standard openings.

Yes. ELT Custom Coolers offers in-house custom door manufacturing for non-standard openings, oversized walk-in boxes, and retrofit projects where standard sizes do not fit.

Prehung doors from ELT Custom Coolers are engineered for drop-in replacement. The frame, hardware, and — on sliding models — the track and trolley system arrive pre-assembled. This eliminates on-site fabrication and significantly reduces installation time. A qualified commercial refrigeration contractor can typically complete a drop-in replacement in a few hours.

Yes. An electric power sliding door option is available on the 12'x12' walk-in cooler sliding door configuration. This provides hands-free, automated open and close cycles, which is ideal for high-cycle cold storage and distribution facilities where operators are frequently moving through with carts or pallet jacks.
