Resources for Cold Storage Doors

No matter what you need to keep cold from sea food to explosives you need a good cold storage door. Cold storage doors are more than a way in and out of the cold storage room, walk in freezer or refrigerator truck, they are responsible for keeping the cold in and the warm out at all times.

There are several features that you want to look at with a cold storage door. One such consideration is the speed with which it opens and closes. With cold storage rooms there are doors which open like garage doors or as a sliding panel, these are controlled by electronics to permit as little cold air to escape as possible.

Another facet to consider with cold storage doors is maintenance expenses. Doors of all kinds often need lubrication, and doors for cold storage can require a certain amount of insulation that needs to be maintained, defrost blowers to keep the door from freezing up and even infrared lights. The more features the door you choose has that reduce maintenance costs the more it is worth the initial investment.

Cold storage is something that people have been working to perfect for centuries and we've certainly come a long way. Rather than a root cellar we now have computerized cooling rooms with temperature control, electronic doors and solid cooling walls. But no matter how well a cooling room is built and equipped, without the right cold storage door it won't be able to perform as designed.
