Learn how to adjust a swing door latch on a walk-in cooler or freezer door. This video provides a helpful overview of adjusting the door latch to help ensure the door closes securely and maintains proper contact with the door frame and gasket.

A properly adjusted latch is an important part of walk-in cooler and freezer door performance. If a latch is out of adjustment, the door may be difficult to close, may not latch securely, or may fail to create the proper seal. Air leakage around a poorly sealed door can allow warm, humid air into the refrigerated space and increase the workload on the refrigeration system.
