Reyds classifies it as standard, with a typical response of 45–90 min across Cape Town. We isolate the fault, correct it with matched parts and confirm the unit holds temperature under normal load.

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
Restaurants
In a restaurant, door seal failure moves from nuisance to operational risk very quickly. Service-speed cooling where every minute of downtime costs a service. Our technicians work to the tolerance your operation needs.

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 freezer room 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.
