A standard frame is designed for most modern walk-in cooler openings, while a plug frame is engineered for older walk-in coolers where the original opening was cut for a plug-style door.

ELT's heated frame and heated plug frame options prevent frost buildup, door-stick, and sweating on walk-in freezer doors.

Sliding door sizes range from 36"x78" up to 12'x12', with an electric power sliding option available on the largest configurations for hands-free automated access.

A strip curtain is a secondary PVC barrier installed at a walk-in cooler or freezer doorway. The Kason 402 Easimount strip curtain reduces cold air loss by 20–40% on high-cycle doorways, cuts ice buildup on freezer door frames, and supports food-safety temperature compliance — making it an essential energy-saving add-on for grocery store cooler and freezer openings.
