How to Fit a Fermod 67 Coldroom Door Gasket

The Fermod 67 is one of the most popular gaskets for hinged coldroom doors - easy to retrofit, available in cut lengths, and suitable for temperatures down to -45°C.

Why choose the Fermod 67?

We stock the Fermod 67 in long rolls, cut to your required length. This makes it ideal for re-gasketing a single door without ordering a full roll. The black EPDM material performs reliably in both chiller and freezer environments.

Before you start

Check these two things before fitting:

  • The gasket is 40mm wide and 19mm deep - measure your existing gasket depth to confirm it's compatible
  • You may need to adjust your hinges after fitting to ensure the door seal pulls tightly against the door frame and that the door is not hinge-bound

Step-by-step fitting guide

  1. Remove the old gasket from the door frame completely
  2. Fix the new gasket to the door edges using the pre-drilled retaining strip
  3. At each corner cut away 40mm of the inner section of rubber leaving the middle intact - this allows the gasket to fit snugly into the rebate
  4. Cut the top piece square and slot into the rebate. Use the ends of the retaining strip to secure in place
  5. Repeat at the bottom if fitting a four-sided gasket
