A drawer gasket (slide-out drawer gasket) is a seal made of PVC or TPE that is placed in the drawer of a refrigerated workbench or refrigerated work table. The drawer gasket ensures that the drawer is properly sealed, preventing cold air from escaping. Most drawer gaskets are equipped with a magnetic strip for an optimal seal. Drawer gaskets are standard in almost every refrigerated workbench or freezer workbench.
Measuring a drawer gasket is very precise: drawer gaskets are custom-made for the correct fit. Therefore, measure carefully using the door gasket dimensions, so you order the correct profile right away.

Types of drawer gaskets
- PVC: the most common version, suitable for most refrigerated workbenches and freezer workbenches.
- TPE: wear-resistant and suitable for low temperatures, often used for intensive use.
- Rubber: rarely used for drawers. Very wear-resistant and suitable for low temperatures.
- Silicone: can be used in warming cabinets or proofing cabinets. Resistant to high temperatures.
- With magnet: pulls the drawer against the frame for an optimal seal.
- Without magnet: used when the drawer does not use a magnetic closure.
Replacing a drawer gasket? Keep this in mind
Do you doubt whether your drawer gasket needs replacing? Pay attention to these signs:
- The profile has hardened or shows cracks
- The drawer no longer closes properly or a gap remains visible
- The magnet no longer attracts properly against the frame
A worn drawer gasket allows cold air to escape. This costs energy and can pose a risk to food safety, as the temperature in the refrigeration remains less stable. The refrigeration motor also switches on more frequently, leading to more wear and heat in the room.
The right drawer gasket starts with the right profile
You can find the right drawer gasket in three steps: type, shape, and material. First, check how the profile is attached. This determines the type, and thus the category you should search in. Then choose the correct shape and see if it contains a magnet; this makes filtering easier. Finally, check if the profile is available in multiple materials and choose what best suits the use. Are you unsure which type suits your drawer? View the different profile types. When replacing, always check the old profile code or the exact dimensions, so that the new profile has the same fit and seal.

A drawer gasket is used in the slide-out drawer of a refrigerated workbench or refrigerated work table. A door gasket is used around the door of a refrigerator, freezer, or cold room. Both ensure an airtight seal, but the shape and mounting differ
Not always. Drawers and doors usually follow a fixed construction in standard sizes. The door is then 1/1 and drawers are, for example, 1/2 or 1/3 of that. The profile is often the same ex-factory, but the size differs. Therefore, measure each drawer separately.
No, drawer gaskets are available both with and without a magnet. Which version you need depends on the original profile installed in your refrigerated workbench.
Yes. Measuring a drawer gasket is precise, as it is custom-made for the correct fit. Use the dimensions explanation or contact us if you are unsure.
No, you can order from 1 piece.
Search by the brand of your refrigerated workbench. If the type number is not listed, we will still produce the drawer gasket custom-made.
