Walk in Rooms for Commercial Cold Storage and Freezers

A walk-in cold room is a refrigerated walk-in enclosure maintained at above-freezing cooler temperatures, typically between 34°F and 40°F. Unlike a walk-in freezer, a cold room is designed for short-term perishable storage — produce, dairy, beverages, and prepared foods. Commercial walk-in cold rooms are used in restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, hospitals, and food distribution facilities.

ELT Custom Coolers stocks 65 walk-in cooler replacement doors and 51 walk-in freezer replacement doors in standard widths from 30" to 60" and heights from 76" to 84". Sliding door systems are available up to 12'x12'. Custom sizes for non-standard openings are manufactured in-house at no upcharge, with same-business-day quotes available.

Swing doors are the standard choice for most walk-in coolers and freezers and install in about one hour. Sliding doors are designed for high-traffic, wide-opening applications where forklifts, pallet jacks, or carts must pass through. ELT offers prehung sliding cooler doors up to 12'x12' and sliding freezer doors up to 96"x120", with heated jamb options available for sub-zero freezer environments.

A heated frame or heated jamb uses an electric heat wire embedded in the door frame to prevent frost, ice buildup, and door-stick at the freezer opening. This is especially critical in high-cycle freezer doorways and low-temperature applications ranging from -20°F to -40°F. ELT offers heated frame options across multiple freezer door configurations including swing and sliding doors.

Yes. ELT Custom Coolers' prehung replacement doors are designed as drop-in replacements that install directly over existing wall panels in approximately one hour, with no panel replacement required. Both plug frame and standard jamb frame options are available to fit original openings correctly and minimize cold-storage downtime during the door-swap.

Walk-in cooler and freezer rooms are used across food service restaurants, ghost kitchens, grocery and convenience stores, food processing and distribution facilities, hospitality and hotel kitchens, pharmaceutical and biotech cold-chain storage, floral retailers, beverage and craft breweries, cannabis dispensaries, and institutional foodservice operations such as hospitals, universities, and corporate cafeterias.
