We measure the seal gap, realign hinges, and fit a new gasket matched to your door — restoring an airtight close that stops warm-air ingress and cuts compressor run time.
Industry context
Catering Companies
Downtime in catering companies is measured in lost trading hours, not just parts. Off-site and event catering with mobile and static cold holding. Reyds shapes the repair around how your sector actually uses the equipment.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so door seal failure is flagged before stock is lost.
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many door seal failure callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the commercial freezer under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so door seal failure is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
