What we fit in Carrickfergus

Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
