Prevention
Stop the fault returning

Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the walk-in freezer 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.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in freezer to catch wear before it becomes door seal failure.
