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
Commercial Kitchens
For commercial kitchens, refrigeration reliability is a commercial requirement rather than a convenience. Centralised production kitchens running continuous cold loads. That context decides how urgently we treat door seal failure.
Cape Town coverage

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 walk-in cooler 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.
