INSTALLING THE DOOR
Prior to insulating your Cooler, it is best to install the door frame and door.
THRIFTY TIPS
• Choose an exterior door as it will be insulated reducing the cooling loss through the door area.
• Choose an outward swing door.
• You can also use an insulated door without a frame and either build your own frame or purchase a
door frame kit.
• Ensure your NEW exterior rated door comes with weather sealing.
• Be careful to not damage the weather sealing during installation.
• You can repurpose an exterior insulated door or make your own, by building a frame and
sandwiching between 2 - 4" of insulation between sheets of plywood or OSB.
• If you choose repurpose a door or make your own it is important to have good weather sealing in
order to maintain cold temperatures within your cooler.
• Plastic curtains at the entrance of your cooler are a great addition to reduce air infiltration on
loading times.
IMPORTANT
Whichever method you choose for your door frame and door it is important that the door is installed
plumb and square in order to ensure easy opening and closing of your door as well as achieving a
good seal. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation or go online and watch many of the
online videos available from Hardware stores about “How to Install an Exterior Door”. They have great
tips for ensuring proper fit, shimming, leveling, etc.
