Safety Information

Always prioritize safety during installation and maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure the door is stable and secured before removing or installing the gasket. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.

Setup and Measurement

Accurate measurement is crucial for a proper fit. Before ordering or installing, carefully measure your existing door gasket. Strivide gaskets are custom-made to your specified size.

Step 1: Measure Door Gasket Width and Height

Measure the width and height of the existing gasket from outer edge to outer edge. Ensure measurements are precise to guarantee a correct replacement fit.

Step 2: Identify Gasket Profile

Compare your existing gasket's cross-sectional profile to the available Strivide profiles to ensure compatibility. This step is essential for a secure and effective seal.

Installation Instructions

The Strivide Walk-in Door Gasket is designed for toolless and easy installation. Follow these steps for optimal results.

Step 1: Remove Old Gasket

• Open the walk-in door.
• Carefully pull the old gasket out of its channel. Start from a corner and work your way around the door frame.
• Clean the gasket channel thoroughly to remove any debris, dirt, or old adhesive.

Step 2: Install New Gasket

• Begin by inserting one corner of the new gasket into the door channel.
• Press the gasket firmly into the channel, working your way around the perimeter of the door. Ensure the magnetic strip is facing the door frame for a proper seal.
• Apply even pressure to ensure the gasket is fully seated and secure in the channel.
• If your gasket has pre-punched holes, align these with any existing fasteners if applicable.

Step 3: Test the Seal

• Close the door and check for any gaps or areas where the gasket is not sealing properly.
• Adjust the gasket by gently pressing it further into the channel if necessary.
• A good seal will prevent air leakage, maintaining the temperature inside the cooler or freezer.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your Strivide door gasket. The material is designed to last and has no unpleasant smell.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the gasket with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the gasket for signs of wear, tears, cracks, or hardening. A damaged gasket can compromise the seal and lead to energy loss.
• Alignment: Ensure the door remains properly aligned. Misaligned doors can cause uneven pressure on the gasket, leading to premature wear.
