How do I know if my walk-in door closer is bad?

If the door no longer pulls itself shut, slams, or won't seal at the end of its swing, the closer has lost tension or failed. Replacing it restores proper self-closing.

What's the difference between a hydraulic and a ratchet closer?

Hydraulic and spring closers (like Kason) mount on the door and frame and pull the door shut smoothly; ratchet and torsion-rod closers (like Ardco) use spring tension on the hinge side. We stock both.

Will a Kason-style closer fit my walk-in door?

Kason-style closers fit a wide range of walk-in doors. Send your existing closer's model number or a photo and we'll confirm the right replacement and mounting.

Do you carry closers for both left- and right-hand doors?

Yes. Tell us the door's hand and your existing closer model, or send a photo, and we'll match it.

How fast do closers ship?

In-stock closers ship the same business day when ordered by 2:00 PM ET.

Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Door Closers

Door closers that keep walk-in cooler and freezer doors self-closing and sealed, including Kason-style and Ardco closers.

A walk-in door that won't self-close is a constant energy drain and a food-safety risk. The closer is what pulls the door shut and holds it sealed against the gasket.

Fits walk-in cooler and freezer doors. We stock Kason-style hydraulic closers and Ardco ratchet and torsion-rod closers. Match your existing closer model or send a photo and we'll cross-reference it.

Replacing a failed closer is a quick fix that restores a tight seal and stops the door from being propped or left ajar.
