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
Supermarkets
A supermarket has little margin for a cold chain that drifts. High-footfall retail refrigeration protecting perishable turnover. That context decides how urgently we treat door seal failure.
Cape Town coverage
Claremont · Southern Suburbs
Reyds covers Claremont as part of our Southern Suburbs callout zone. Technicians carry common components and refrigerant, so most Claremont repairs are finished on the first visit.
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.
