A cold room lock, also called a cooler door emergency release, is a specialized mechanism for cold storage environments like walk-in freezers and refrigerated rooms. These locks ensure security, safety, and reliable operation in low-temperature settings.

At Finstar Industrial Systems, we offer high-quality cold room locks designed to meet the demands of refrigeration systems.

Key Features of Cold Room Locks

1. Temperature Resistance: Functions effectively in extremely low temperatures, often as low as -40°C (-40°F), without becoming brittle or malfunctioning.
2. Anti-Ice Mechanism: Prevents freezing or ice accumulation in cold and humid conditions.
3. Durable Materials: Made from corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, to handle harsh environments.
4. Safety Features: Includes internal release mechanisms to allow personnel trapped inside to exit, preventing accidental entrapment.
5. Sealing Properties: Prevents warm air ingress, reducing condensation and ice buildup while maintaining cold room integrity.
6. Ease of Use: Operates smoothly even with gloves on, accommodating the needs of personnel in protective gear.

Types of Cold Room Locks

• Manual Locks: Operated with a key or handle, offering simplicity and reliability.
• Electronic Locks: Use keypads, RFID cards, or biometrics for advanced access control and integration with security systems.
• Panic Bars: Installed on emergency exits to ensure quick and safe egress during emergencies.
• Padlocks: Heavy-duty options designed specifically for cold environments, enhancing security.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance are critical to the lock’s performance:

• Align the lock correctly with the door and frame for smooth operation.
