Walk-In Coolers and Freezers Overview

Walk-in coolers maintain temperatures just above freezing (typically 35–41°F) for fresh perishables, while walk-in freezers operate well below freezing (typically 0 to -10°F) to preserve frozen goods. Freezer doors require heated frames to prevent frost build-up and door-stick, and heavier insulation to maintain sub-zero temperatures.

ELT Custom Coolers stocks 65 prehung cooler swing doors and 51 freezer swing doors in widths from 30" to 60" and heights from 76" to 130". Sliding doors range from 36"x78" up to 12'x12'. Custom sizes are also available for non-standard or oversized openings.

Yes. ELT Custom Coolers offers prehung replacement doors that ship with the frame pre-assembled for a true drop-in installation — no on-site fabrication required. Standard and plug frame options are available to match existing walk-in box openings in restaurants, grocery stores, and cold storage facilities.

A heated jamb uses a low-wattage electric heating element embedded in the door frame to prevent frost and ice build-up around the freezer opening. This eliminates door-stick, sweating, and seal failure that commonly occur in high-cycle freezer doorways. It is available on select swing and sliding freezer door models.

A strip curtain is a PVC panel barrier that hangs in the doorway to reduce cold air loss when the cooler door is open. The Kason 402 Easimount strip curtain can reduce compressor run-time by 20–40% on high-cycle doorways, cut ice buildup on freezer frames, and support food-safety temperature compliance — making it a cost-effective add-on for any busy cooler or freezer.

Yes. ELT Custom Coolers offers equipment financing through MyCloudFunding on all products, including complete walk-in boxes, replacement doors, sliding doors, and accessories. Both purchase and lease options are available, allowing operators to acquire equipment with flexible payment structures rather than a large upfront capital outlay.
