What Type Of Cold Room Doors Are Available?

MTCSS supply and install a wide range of doors, from personnel doors to high-speed doors, as part of custom cold room projects. We also offer hinged and sliding doors for supply only on our online shop, as well as a huge range of parts to ensure your doors are working efficiently all year round.

So, what types of doors are available and what are their benefits?

Personnel doors are semi-insulated doors so aren’t generally used for cold rooms, but instead they are used for offices, changing rooms and other areas.

Hinged cold room doors can be used in chiller and freezer cold rooms. We offer different thickness door panels to offer optimal insulation properties to ensure your cold room maintains its internal temperatures. These doors are better suited for small to medium sized cold room doors.

Sliding cold room doors can be used in walk in chillers and freezers – again dependent on the temperature, we offer different panel thicknesses to suit the negative or positive internal temperatures. Sliding cold room doors are suited to small to large doors due to ease of opening.

High speed doors can be used internally, externally and for ambient temperatures, chillers, and freezers. High-speed fast action doors are ideal for larger doors as they have an automated opening system, operated with push button, pull cord or radar.

The type of door you choose for your cold room is dependent on the type of access you require and therefore the door size. Hinged cold room doors are ideal for pedestrian access as well as roll cage access. You can use larger hinged doors for pallet access, however the increase in size can make hinged doors more difficult to open / close.

Sliding doors are suited for frequent pedestrian access, as well as cages and pallets, as the sliding system makes the doors easier to open when they are larger in size – reducing the risk of injury or of the door being left open, in comparison to a hinged door.

Larger chiller and freezer cold rooms may need forklift or vehicle access – high-speed fast action doors are the perfect solution. High-speed doors open and close vertically using an automated system, operated with push button, pull cord or radar.
