Polar King unveils universal walk-in replacement doors

Polar King International, Inc. announced the launch of its new line of replacement doors, designed to fit virtually any walk-in unit, not just Polar King models.

The replacement doors are designed to industry-standard sizes and can be easily customized to accommodate various cooler or freezer applications. Available in standard and custom widths, heights, and thicknesses, the new doors provide a practical solution for facilities looking to extend the life of their walk-in unit without the expense of a full replacement.

“Facilities often deal with wear and tear on their walk-in doors long before the entire unit needs to be replaced,” says Dave Schenkel, president of Polar King International. “Our new replacement doors offer a quick, durable,e and compatible solution that can be installed on nearly any walk-in on the market. That goes for metal panel units, too. Most importantly, they’re designed with user safety in mind.”

Similar to Polar King’s walk-in units, the new doors feature a smooth gelcoat exterior, a rigid polyisocyanate foam core, and a fiberglass interior for superior thermal performance and durability. Door thicknesses range from 4 to 6 inches, and each is constructed with a 1-inch PVC foam rail preassembled to the door plug for easy jobsite installation.

Customers can specify every detail through a streamlined order form, including door opening dimensions, floor height, wall thickness, kickplate size, viewport windows and frame type—such as flush, overlapping, or L-shaped with a back jamb frame. Frames come in 6-inch widths to accommodate a wide range of rough openings.

Each replacement door is delivered with all necessary hardware and a mounted junction box for quick wiring of heated models. Installation is simple: seal, level and secure the frame and door assembly to the opening.

“These doors are engineered to make the installation process as fast and foolproof as possible,” adds Schenkel. “Whether you’re maintaining a Polar King unit or another brand, this solution ensures long-term performance and peace of mind.”
