The door of a walk in cooler is by far the biggest factor in the overall efficiency of your cooler or walk in freezer. The door must be sized appropriately and the style must accommodate the daily traffic in and out without unnecessarily jeopardizing the inside temperature. Walk in cooler insulated doors in California must be designed and manufactured with excellent seals and all must be self-closing which is a requirement of California building codes.
There are a number of diffident styles available to meet the unique situations found within the industry.
* Single horizontal sliding door: In many applications there are severe space limitations in the building where the walk in cooler is located. In applications which have such limitations, a single horizontal sliding door is save s far more floor space than does a swinging door. Standard single horizontal sliding doors are commonly available up to 20 feet in width and can be fitted with electric door openers which increase the ease and speed of opening and closing the door. This type of door is most suited to pedestrian and fork truck traffic.
* Bi-parting horizontal sliding doors: Double or bi-parting horizontal sliding doors are ideal for use in situations where there is insufficient room on one side of the opening for a single door. A bi-parting door can function with approximately half the space but space must be available on both sides of the opening. This style of door opens and closes almost at twice the speed as its single counterpart and is ideal in coolers where pallet jacks and fork trucks are used for volume material handling.
* Vertical lift door: Not every building has sufficient room on one side or another to accommodate either a single or bi-parting horizontal sliding door. In situations of this nature the obvious solution is to go up. These doors are also ideal when there are multiple doorways into the cooler and the spacing between the doors is insufficient.
Where space is at a premium, horizontal or vertical walk in cooler insulated doors in California are ideal. Other door styles are also employed under different circumstances.
