ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION INTRUCTIONS
Enclosed with the Installation manual there is a Set-up drawing, showing the identification
and proper placement of your walk-in cooler panels.
IMPORTANT
YOUR WALK-IN COOLER PANELS, DOOR, SCREEDING OR OUTDOOR PACKAGE PARTS MIGHT
DIFFER IN DESIGN OR LOOKS FROM THE ONES SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL.
Having a SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION begins with having a level floor. If the floor is not level,
it will be necessary to install shims, under each floor panel cam-lock.
If the Walk-in does not have Floor Panels, then install shims under the Walk-in's Vinyl screed.
A minimum of 2" clearance between existing building walls and Walk-in is necessary for
proper air circulation.

CAM-LOCK MECHANISM
Before starting to put your enclosure together, familiarize yourself with the operation of the
Cam-lock mechanism.
Locks will be on the right side of the panel and they operate in a clockwise rotation to lock.
They are accessible through the small holes on the right side of the panel.
Insert the Hex Wrench provided with your Installation package, and after the panels have been
carefully aligned, turn approximately ¾ of a full turn until panels are securely locked together.
DO NOT OVERTGHTEN! It will strip the Hex hole and damage the mechanism.
DO NOT drive the Hex Wrench with a hammer as this can damage the lock.
This locking mechanism is reversible. Simply rotate in the opposite direction to release the lock
and make adjustments. Don’t forget to lock your panel again after adjustments have been
made.

WALK-IN INSTALLATION WITH A FLOOR OPTION
YOUR WALK-IN COOLER PANELS, DOOR, SCREEDING OR OUTDOOR PACKAGE PARTS MIGHT
DIFFER IN DESIGN OR LOOKS FROM THE ONES SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL.
1. Set the floor panels according to the Set-up drawing included in your documentation.
All panels have labels, and are identified in the Set-up drawing.
2. Make sure that all floor panels are level. If not, using shims under cam-locks of the floor
panels around the outside edge is suggested to level the floor.

3. After all floor panels are level, firmly and securely lock all floor panels together with the
Hex Wrench provided in your installation package. Turn it approximately ¾ of a full turn
and repeat until all floor panels are securely locked together.
4. Begin with two corner panels. Usually the left back corner is a good place to start. Make
sure that the top of each wall adjacent panel is flush with each other. Use the wrench to
secure the wall panels to the floor and then lock the wall panels together to start the
wall. Check for alignment to make sure the panels are flush with the floor, corners and
each other as you proceed.

and follow the same steps as above: Align, lock to the floor, lock to the adjacent wall
panel and double check for alignment making sure panel is flush on all sides and on top
with the adjacent panels and floor.
6. Repeat this procedure with each wall panel working your way around the perimeter of
the cooler in a clockwise fashion.
7. When installing the Door panel, DO NOT REMOVE THE DOOR FROM DOOR FRAME.
Follow the same recommendations as when installing the wall panels. Door frame panel
must be LEVEL and PLUMB. Ensure it is flush at the top with all adjacent panels. DO NOT
screw-in the door threshold yet.

door face at bottom of doorway.
•Frame legs are parallel and not spread out. Opening width at bottom of doorway
to match width at top of doorway.
•Adjust door closer per instruction manual.
•Verify function of door locks and emergency
•release when door is locked.
•Door sweep lightly drags on floor when opening/closing door.

13. Install the last ceiling panel to close the box.
14. IMPORTANT!!
Check your box around one last time. Seams in between panels should be tight and
flush. Check your door for correct operation. Open your door less than 90° and let it
close by itself. Make sure it closes freely and makes a good seal with the frame. Ensure
the door does not hit or rub against any parts of the frame. A door that is not closing
properly is usually the result of unlevel set-up and/or improper installation. Please
unlock the necessary panels and correct positioning and leveling until the door operates
properly.

15. Cover wrench holes with the plastic buttons provided in the installation kit. Use a plastic
or regular hammer to gently tap them in place. If the plastic button is falling because
the hole was bored a bit bigger you can use a small amount of silicone on the back of
the button, to keep the plastic cover in place

SECURING DOOR SILL PLATE (THERESHOLD) TO THE FLOOR
NOTE: Coolers with NO floor will NOT have threshold
Across the bottom of each door opening is a stainless-steel threshold.
Secure the threshold by using self-drilling screws and by screwing them into the floor panel
(illustration 1).
Some thresholds may overhang in a 90° angle to the front. Ensure you fasten that side as well
to the front side of the floor panel (illustration 2).

WALK-IN COOLER INSTALLATION WITH OUT FLOOR OPTION
YOUR WALK-IN COOLER PANELS, DOOR, SCREEDING OR OUTDOOR PACKAGE PARTS MIGHT
DIFFER IN DESIGN OR LOOKS FROM THE ONES SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL.
1. Use a chalk line to mark the installation area to the dimensions of the walk-in as shown
in the drawing (Figure 1). Measure diagonally from corner to corner to be sure the floor
vinyl screed is square.
2. Apply TWO straight beads of silicone along the bottom of the vinyl screed (about an inch
away from the edges), then place the vinyl screed along the chalk lines.
NOTE: Leave the vinyl screed loose until the walk in is assembled. DO NOT anchor to the
floor.
NOTE: The vinyl screed might have to be cut as all pieces are not cut to measure from the
factory. Use a miter saw or a hand saw to cut the screeding.
3. Begin with two corner panels. Usually the left back corner is a good place to start. Stand
the wall panels inside the screed making sure they sit correctly (fully cradled in the
screeding). Make sure that the top of each wall adjacent panel is flush with each other.
Use the wrench to secure the wall panels together to start the wall. Check for alignment
to make sure the panels are flush with each other as you proceed.
4. Select the next adjacent wall panel, going in a clockwise direction around the perimeter
and follow the same steps as above: Align, lock to the adjacent wall panel and double

check for alignment making sure panel is flush on all sides and on top with the adjacent
panels.
5. Install shims under vinyl screed corners and across as needed, to ensure support panel
joints and levelness of panels and walls across the top.
6. Follow the rest of the steps as mentioned in INSTALLATION OF A WALK-IN WITH FLOOR
OPTION from step 6 (inclusive) through 16.

INSTALLATION OF OUTDOOR PACKAGE
(OUTDOOR UNITS ONLY)
YOUR WALK-IN COOLER PANELS, DOOR, SCREEDING OR OUTDOOR PACKAGE PARTS MIGHT
DIFFER IN DESIGN OR LOOKS FROM THE ONES SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL.
Electrical Installations should be done AFTER your outdoor membrane
has been installed.
Outdoor units that will be exposed to rain and snow have been ship with an A/C hood, a roof
membrane and a hardware kit as part of your outdoor package.
Install the A/C hood before your roof membrane.
Included items of your outdoor package:
1. A/C hood
2. Roof Membrane –pre-cut about 1 ft larger on each side
3. Aluminum Flat Bars - predrilled
4. Installation Hardware:
a. Flat Bar Anchors (S/S or hex metal screws)
b. Truss-Plate Anchors (black long screws)
5. Truss Plates (only to be used in coolers with a side equal or greater than 10 ft)
RAIN HOOD (OUTDOOR UNITS ONLY)
Align the top edge of the hood no more than 2”below the horizontal joint in between the
ceiling panel and the wall panel. Make sure it’s center in position with respect to the A/C
opening. Screw in place with the self-drilling metal screws.

ROOF MEMBRANE (OUTDOOR UNITS ONLY)
IMPORTANT
Improper installation may result in water accumulation or water infiltration through the
membrane. SIC recommends the roof membrane to be installed by a contractor to ensure it is
installed correctly.
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION ON SMALL COOLERS - ALL SIDES ARE LESS THAN 10FT
1. Extend your membrane on the roof of your walk-in with the soft smooth semi-glossy
textured side UP (overlapping seams DOWN). Ensure that it hangs approximately the
same amount on all sides. Don’t worry if it is too long, it can be trimmed after it’s
installed in place.
2. Starting at the front of the cooler, pull down on the membrane and secure to the wall by
installing the metal trimming provided. Screw the metal trimming to the front side using
the self-drilling hex sheet metal screws provided in your installation kit.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the trim is level and below the seam in between the wall panel
and the ceiling panel. It’s important that this seam stays under the membrane.
3. Repeat the same process for the back side of the cooler.
4. After the front and back part of the membrane have been secured, proceed to one of the
sides of the cooler. Tuck the excess fabric at the front corner underneath the membrane
to create a nice fold. Pull down tight and start securing the membrane to the wall panels
following the same recommendations as before. Install the trimming at the same level as
you did on the front and back to remain constant around the perimeter of the cooler.
Work your way from front to back as you pull down tight and secure.
