Everything you need for cold storage

From a 6×6 prep cooler to a forty-foot beer cave with glass doors — plus the doors and refrigeration to keep the boxes you already own running.

Walk-In Coolers

Held at 35°F. Insulated floor optional, or a vinyl screed for flush, ramp-free entry.

See details

Walk-In Freezers

Insulated floor included as standard — that is what stops frost heave lifting your slab.

See details

Combination Cooler & Freezer

One shell split by an insulated partition. Fewer panels, less floor, one delivery.

See details

Display Glass Door Walk-Ins

Straight runs, L-shapes and beer caves with heated glass doors.

See details

Flower Coolers

Low velocity evaporator and preserved humidity. Air moves around the buckets, not across the blooms.

See details

Replacement Doors

Small and large plug doors, plus manual and electric sliding doors, matched to your opening.

See details

Refrigeration Equipment

½ HP to 6 HP. Indoor and outdoor, medium and low temperature, remote and self-contained.

See all 301 models

Reach-In Coolers & Freezers

Front-loading glass door coolers or freezers, from four doors to as many as your space allows.

See details

Warehouse Walk-Ins

Large-format cooler and freezer rooms built for pallet racking, forklift traffic and volume storage.

Replacement Glass Doors

Replacement glass doors on their own — for convenience stores and existing walk-in coolers and freezers with worn-out doors.

The question everyone asks first

What temperature should a walk-in cooler be?

Short answer

35°F. The FDA requires refrigerated product be held at 41°F or lower, so 35°F leaves you a six-degree buffer for door openings, warm deliveries and defrost.

A walk-in freezer is a different machine: 0°F to -10°F, insulated floor always included, and a system sized for roughly twice the temperature lift.

Why Frigid Coolers

The cold storage partner you can trust

We are not a big-box distributor. Most walk-in failures are not refrigeration failures — they are envelope failures, and that is what we build for.

No wood perimeter

Nothing organic at the panel edge to absorb water, swell or rot. That single detail decides whether a box is still tight in ten years.

Cam-lock, tongue and groove

A half turn of an Allen wrench draws the panels together under compression so the gasket seals itself. Fast to install, and it stays sealed as the building moves.

NSF Listed

The National Sanitation Foundation listing your health inspector is looking for — on the panels, and on the door, frame and shelving system.

Freezer floors are not optional

Every walk-in freezer ships with the insulated floor. A sub-freezing box on a bare slab frost-heaves and cracks it, and that repair happens underneath an installed freezer.

Sized from the load

301 catalogued models with published BTU ratings, so the system is matched to your heat load instead of your floor area. Undersized never holds; oversized short-cycles.

Already own a box?

The door wears out long before the panels do.

It is the only moving part of a cold box. Hinges wear, gaskets take a set and tear, sweep seals abrade. A door that no longer seals is usually the largest single energy leak in a walk-in — and replacing it costs a fraction of replacing the box.

  • Frost or ice around a freezer frame — warm humid air is getting in and freezing.
  • Sweating on a cooler door or the panel beside it.
  • A gasket that stays flat instead of springing back.
  • Compressor runtime creeping up for the same load and weather.
Industries we serve

Cold storage for every industry

A florist needs humidity a restaurant would call a mould problem. A beer cave needs glass a processor would never pass inspection with. We size for the product, not the square footage.

Restaurants & kitchens

Fresh and frozen sized around your delivery frequency, with reach-ins at the stations that need them.

Chilled beverages arranged in a refrigerated grocery store display cooler

Convenience & package stores

Beer caves and display runs judged on sales per linear foot, not cubic feet of storage.

Colourful bouquets of cut flowers on display at a florist shop

Florists & growers

High humidity, low velocity air, and height planned for long-stem buckets. Sized for Valentine's and Mother's Day, not an average week.

Supermarkets & delis

Display out front, bulk holding behind it, so the sales floor never runs empty.

Cooks preparing food in a stainless steel commercial kitchen with overhead shelving

Commissary & processing

Staging, chilled holding and raw-to-ready separation, with the sanitation spec to survive an inspection.

Facilities & institutions

Schools, hospitals and care facilities where a temperature log is a compliance document and a failure is reportable.

The back room

Want to see the drawings first?

Some people want a price. Some people want dimensions, door openings, evaporator callouts and a model number before they talk to anybody. Both are fine — and the second group has somewhere to go.

  • Approval drawings — fully dimensioned, by product type. Plan and elevation.
  • Product renderings — walk-ins, plug doors and sliding doors from our own drawing office.
  • All 301 refrigeration condensing units — BTU ratings, cabinet dimensions, electrical, refrigerant, and the matched evaporators.
  • Glass door specification — Model 401, tempered two-pane e-coat gas filled.

Straight answers

Frequently asked

What temperature should a walk-in cooler be?

35°F. The FDA requires refrigerated product at 41°F or lower, so 35°F leaves six degrees of headroom for door openings and warm deliveries. Running at 41°F to save energy leaves you no margin at all — one busy service with the door swinging and you are over the line with product you may have to dump.

Does a walk-in freezer really need an insulated floor?

Yes, and it is included as standard on every freezer we build. Concrete is not an insulator, so a 0°F box makes the slab cold too. Moisture in and under the slab freezes, expands about nine percent, and lifts the concrete. That is frost heave, it cracks the slab, and it throws the panels out of level so the cam-lock joints stop pulling square.

A cooler stays above freezing and cannot do this, which is why a cooler floor is genuinely optional — and why many operators use a vinyl screed instead for flush, ramp-free entry.

How long does installation take?

The box itself typically goes together in a day with two people and an Allen wrench, because the panels are tongue-and-groove with cam-lock action and need no framing and no fasteners driven through the insulation.

Refrigeration and electrical connection are separate licensed trades. A self-contained unit is close to plug-and-play; a remote split needs a refrigeration contractor to run, evacuate and charge the line set.

Can you build a custom size?

Routinely. Panels are manufactured to your dimensions, so L-shapes, beer caves, low ceilings and boxes built around a structural column are all normal work.

The real constraint is almost never the room — it is the route to the room. Measure your narrowest doorway, the tightest hallway turn and the lowest ceiling obstruction before you measure the space.

Why is there no price on the website?

Because there is no honest way to publish one. The same footprint changes price depending on cooler or freezer, the floor treatment, the refrigeration configuration, the door count, glass or solid, site access and destination. Anyone quoting your walk-in from a web page is guessing.

Send dimensions and what you are storing and you get a real number, usually the same day.

Do you really ship free?

Yes. Free shipping on every walk-in we quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
