Kolpak Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Gasket Replacement

Kolpak walk-in gasket replacement

Notice the walk-in door not staying shut or sealing properly? It might be time for a new gasket. Check out the steps to replace a Kolpak walk-in cooler and freezer gasket below. Before you get started, make sure to disconnect all power sources. We also recommend using protective gloves to avoid injury from sharp corners.

Steps to Replace a Kolpak Walk-In Gasket

1. Remove the old gasket - Start at the bottom by prying under the gasket with a screwdriver. 

2. Begin pulling the gasket out of the groove - Start with pulling the sides out first, then move to the top portion.

3. Install the new gasket - Start at the top corner and begin snapping the new gasket into the groove. Work it in along the top, then down the sides of the door.

4. Tap the gasket in place - You may need to tap it in place with a hammer or mallet in order to fully secure the gasket.
