Many customers may have existing walk-in rooms that have aged, or outlived their original design intention. We offer the service of “revamp” where we make a site survey and determine what components may have to be changed to meet new performance or specifications. Generally this approach is cost saving, as the walk-in panels existing may be intact, needing only new refrigeration components.

Some portions of older walk-ins wear out sooner than others. Typical problems occur with the entrance doors. These tend to take a lot of abuse and can require new gaskets, hinges etc. Many times the entire door needs replacing, and we can do this on any make walk-in.

Another problem area is the insulated floor. In the past, galvanized surfaces were used and these would wear, having the galvanic coating scuffed away. The raw steel will rust, sometimes straight through. After surveying your particular situation we can either replace the entire floor with a new stainless steel one, or in some cases where rusting hasn't occurred but the floor has deformed, we can put coverings over the floor to extend its life.

We get many calls for relocating walk-ins. From either one floor of a building to another, or many states away. We can dismantle most any brand of walk-in and reassemble in a new location. On occasion this work is accompanied by an updating of some of the components to extend usability.

Many walk-ins are simply too small after a period of time, and we can add panels to existing walk-ins to make them larger. When we make the site study we can determine if your existing refrigeration components are sized adequately to handle the expansion, and/or we can provide additional equipment to make up for any potential deficiencies.

From time to time we come across used walk-ins and components which can serve in some applications.

From your initial call into our office we can usually outline the feasibility of any revamp you may be considering. Once we have visited your site and made a survey you will receive a written quotation which will spell out each step in the procedure.
