Why Is a Service Door Needed?
In Buzhane and Cold Storage facilities, there is often a need for narrower access points used only by personnel, in addition to main cold room doors. Using large hinged or sliding doors in these areas may be unnecessary and operationally inefficient.
The Service Door (Office Door):
- Speeds up personnel entry and exit
- Reduces unnecessary use of main cold room doors
- Helps maintain thermal balance between office/service areas and cold zones
- Provides a practical solution for daily operations
For this reason, Service Doors are positioned as a complementary element in Cold Storage projects.
Single Leaf and Double Leaf Manufacturing Options
The Service Door (Office Door) manufactured according to BOB Modular Standards can be produced as single leaf or double leaf, depending on the required passage width and usage intensity.
- Single leaf service doors are preferred in areas with limited personnel traffic and narrow openings.
- Double leaf service doors are used in wider openings or locations with higher passage frequency.
Both configurations are manufactured using the same structural design, material quality, and insulation principles.
Cold Room Service Door Leaf – Manufacturing Structure
The Cold Room Service Door Leaf manufactured according to BOB Modular Standards is constructed entirely from anodized aluminum profiles. This structure is designed to provide light weight, durability, and long service life.
Main product used in the door leaf:
- Service Door Aluminum Profile – BOB-SKAP-05
This anodized aluminum profile ensures sufficient mechanical strength and structural stability in Cold Storage and Buzhane environments. Door leaf outer surfaces are formed by integrating metal sheets into the aluminum profile system.
The internal structure of the door leaf is filled with polyurethane injection at a density of 42 kg/m³, providing the required basic thermal insulation for service door applications.
Door leaf surface options, according to customer request:
- Stainless steel sheet
- PVC-coated steel sheet
- Polyester-coated sheet
Sheet colors can be customized according to project requirements. In the final production stage, a PVC gasket is applied around the door leaf. This PVC gasket provides basic sealing and controlled thermal separation between cold and service areas.
Cold Room Service Door Frames – Anodized Aluminum System
Cold Room Service Door frames are manufactured exclusively from anodized aluminum profiles. PVC or stainless steel frames are not used for service doors. This approach offers the most suitable solution for service door requirements such as light weight, cleanliness, durability, and dimensional stability.
According to BOB Modular Standards, the following Service Door Aluminum Frame Profiles are used:
- Service Door Aluminum Profile – BOB-SKAP-01
- Service Door Aluminum Profile – BOB-SKAP-02
- Service Door Aluminum Profile – BOB-SKAP-03
- Service Door Aluminum Profile – BOB-SKAP-04
These profiles are selected based on panel thickness and application details, ensuring proper, aesthetic, and airtight installation in Cold Storage and Buzhane projects.
Lock and Hinge System
The Service Door (Office Door) is equipped with durable and long-lasting lock, hinge, and handle systems suitable for frequent personnel use.
Lock System
- Service Door Lock Set – BOB-SKAP-08
This lock set is designed to provide safe and practical operation in service door applications.
Hinge System
- Service Door Stainless Steel Hinge – BOB-SKAP-06
The stainless steel hinge is preferred in Buzhane and Cold Storage projects where hygiene requirements are high.
Additionally, aluminum hinge options are available upon customer request, offering a lighter and more aesthetic alternative.

- Stainless Steel Door Handle – BOB-SKAP-07
This handle allows the door to be opened from both the inside and outside, ensuring ease of use in daily personnel traffic.
