REPLACEMENT OF THE MAGNETIC DOOR GASKET ASSEMBLY

For your convenience and safety, it is advisable to remove the entire door assembly

from the walk-in cooler or freezer before attempting to replace the door gasket.

Prepare a smooth, clean surface on which the exterior surface of the door assembly

can be placed without marring or scratching the finish.

DOOR ASSEMBLY REMOVAL - ALL FOAMED WALK-IN COOLER OR FREEZERS

WITH CAM LIFT HINGES

NOTE: For doors equipped with a spring hinge, see the door removal instructions label

on the interior of the door near the top hinge. When removing the door assembly from

any walk-in, solicit the aid of an assistant during the door removal and replacement procedures.

1. Open door to dwell position, stopping at approximately 120°.

2. Put mark on floor to indicate position of door, see sketch.

3. Lift door off frame.

4. To replace door, line up door with mark on floor.

5. Place hex hole in hinge straps over hex rods and lower door.

RESETTING SPRING HINGES

For the top spring-loaded hinge, you will need to reset the spring/hexagon pin.

With the door installed, closed and locked, remove the screws from the spring

loaded hinge strap on the door only. You will need to hold the hinge strap against

the door to prevent the strap from springing out towards you after the screws are

removed. Remove the strap portion from the door by pulling upward. Hold the

strap portion above the remainder of the hinge so that the strap is flat against the door. Bring the

strap portion back down towards the door so that it meets the hexagon pin. You have now reset the

spring. Insert the screws back into the strap and door. Note: Under normal conditions, the spring has

no tension when the door is closed.

ADJUSTABLE HINGE

Nor-Lake 26”, 30”, & 36” wide walk-in doors are provided with an adjustable hinge. The adjustable hinge provides

the ability to square a door within the door jamb.

If a door requires adjustment:

Open the door and you will find a small chrome plug button, on the edge of the door behind the upper hinge.

Before any adjustment you must first slightly loosen the screws on the hinge strap on the door. Then pop off the

chrome plug button. Now you can access the adjustment screw. You should only make minor adjustments and

then close the door to view if the adjustment rectified the situation. When complete replace the chrome plug and

re-tighten the screws on the hinge strap.

NOTE: On doors with a kick plate you may have a center (3rd) hinge. In this case there is a 2nd adjustable

hinge. You will need to loosen the screws on both the top and center hinge(s) and make minor adjustments in

both areas.
