A size: This is the most commonly used method to determine the seal dimensions (width x height). The A size is measured by taking the outside-to-outside dimensions of the fridge seal.
B size: This method is not very commonly used. The B size is measured by taking the measurements from magnet-to-magnet.
C size: For dart profiles centre-to-centre is the best way to take measurements. We advise engineers to take measurements for dart profiles (width x height) in the door (or drawer). In practice this means you measure the inside edge of the slot on the one side to the outside edge of the slot on the other side.

On the page “how to measure a fridge seal” there are some illustrations on how to take the dimensions of a fridge seal in the correct way and more practical information about taking measurements.

We produce bespoke fridge seals for the aftermarket and for producers of refrigeration equipment. Our fridge seals are installed in commercial cooling installations in hotels, restaurants, bars, petrol stations, supermarkets, refrigeration equipment in the medical sector, laboratories etc. End-users in these categories will be redirected to a refrigeration company in their region. We use a business-to-business model that excludes sales to private individuals.

If you accidentally ordered a seal with the wrong dimensions we can help you to “re-work” the seal. Obviously, re-work is only possible if the seal needs to be smaller. A special discount applies. Contact our customer service if you have a seal that you want to re-work. Mind that it must be a seal that was ordered from DSU.

For re-work of fridge seals the following rules apply:
-       Contact our customer service with your order number.
-       The seal must be fit for re-work. Upon receiving the seal, it will be checked if:
         o   The seal is in good condition, not wrinkled or folded
         o   The required seal must be minimum 1 cm less wide or 1 cm less high.

It is a pity if the wrong profile was ordered. Always double check your order before sending it to DSU. Seals are produced to customer order and are Non-returnable and Non-refundable.

 

Refrigerator seals (or refrigerator gaskets) need to replaced over time. The lifespan of a refrigerator seal largely depends on the way it is maintained and the intensity of use.

Read more on how to maintain fridge seals effectively.

In order to reduce the logistics cost fridge seals are carefully folded by our employees. Remove the seal(s) immediately from the packaging upon receipt and follow directions:
- Always hold the gasket/seal by its corners to keep the magnetic strip from breaking.
- Lay down the gasket/seal so it can adjust to its ambient temperature
- Wrinkles and creases (through transportation) can be removed by gently warming the seal/gasket with a hairdryer if necessary

Right after installation magnetic seals can have less power of attraction. It can take several weeks for the magnet to reach the right power of attraction.
