The components that make up your walk in cooler or freezer are all very important, including your door gasket. That is why it is very important to make sure that your walk in cooler or freezer is constructed using high quality gaskets so that your panels form a tight seal.
When choosing a door gasket, make sure that it’s a good fit for your door. Many people assume that all door gaskets are the same and are a universal fit. This is simply not the case. Most walk in cooler and freezer doors are sold with door gaskets that were carefully chosen for that particular door. This means that the door fit, size, offset, and style were all taken into account when selecting a proper gasket.
Next, consider how your existing gasket mounts. Door gaskets mount in a variety of different ways whether it be tack-on, self adhesive, or magnetic just to name a few. How your door gasket mounts is very important in choosing a replacement. It’s also a very good idea to look for any identification numbers on your existing door gasket. If you’re lucky enough to have an existing door gasket labeled with a part number, than finding a replacement will be simple.
Be sure to also consider your existing door gasket’s measurements. This includes length, width, and thickness. When calling to order a new door gasket, you will more than likely be asked for those specific dimensions. This is to ensure that your new door gasket will fit your application.
