The Reyds Solution
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. Reyds shapes the repair around how your sector actually uses the equipment.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of door seal failure in butcheries cold chains.
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 freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
