Walk-In Cooler Door Hardware and Parts

A standard frame mounts flush against the face of the walk-in panel opening, while a plug frame is designed to fit inside the opening itself — the right choice for older walk-in coolers originally built to accept a plug-style door. ELT offers both frame types across cooler and freezer swing door lines.

In most freezer applications, a heated jamb or heated frame is strongly recommended. It prevents frost buildup, ice-up, sweating, and door-stick at the frame opening — issues that frequently occur with unheated frames in sub-zero environments. ELT offers heated frame and heated plug frame options on freezer swing doors, and heated jamb options on select freezer sliding doors.

Swing doors are best for standard back-of-house coolers with adequate clearance space. Sliding doors are ideal for high-traffic facilities where forklifts, pallet jacks, or carts need to pass through without door swing obstruction. ELT offers both in prehung configurations for both cooler and freezer applications.
