Walk-in coolers and freezers
Unlike other strip door designs, our headers allow for easy strip replacement without the need for costly, proprietary replacement strips. Some strip door manufacturers use strips with bonded-beads or other reinforcements which are more expensive to replace and do not necessarily extend the life of strips in high-traffic industrial applications. Our mounting systems allow you to use pre-cut and punched replacement strips, or you can cut your own replacement strips from bulk roll-stock material for the most cost-effective strip replacement option. In addition, our optional valance strip can reduce the chance of tearing at the header for more demanding low clearance applications, rather than costly mesh reinforcements at the top of the strip. Our pre-studded hardware design allows for easy conversion between material sizes and overlaps. We offer a jamb mount galvanized steel (UL) header which allows the door to be mounted within the opening. Face mount hardware (SL) is also available, which mounts above and also slightly covers the sidewalls of the opening, is recommended for applications where a better seal is required.
All of our vinyl strip material and mounting hardware is proudly made in The United States of America.
