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
Butcheries
A butchery has little margin for a cold chain that drifts. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. That context decides how urgently we treat door seal failure.
