IMPORTANT PLANNING INFORMATION
LOCAL REGULATIONS AND CODES
It is YOUR responsibility to consult with your local inspectors about your walk-in cooler plans to
ensure you will be able to meet all the local codes and requirements for walk-in cooler
installations in your area.
WALK-IN COOLER WALLS CLEARANCE
A minimum of 2 inches clearance between existing building walls and walk-in walls is necessary
for proper air circulation around the cooler walls (see pg. 7)
AIR CONDITIONER CLEARANCE
A minimum of 2 feet clearance around the A/C unit is needed for proper ventilation (pg. 7).
FLOOR
A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION begins with HAVING A SOLID LEVEL SURFACE to install your cooler.
DELIVERY
You will need 2-3 able bodied people on site for unloading your cooler. It is at the driver’s
discretion to use the lift gate. You should be prepared if the shipment has to be uncrated and
unloaded manually from the truck.
IMPORTANT!
Always consult with your General Contractor before installation of your walk-in box in a recently
poured concrete pad or tiled floor to ensure enough curing time has been allowed.
Concrete, grout, and other construction materials may outgas chemicals for weeks (or even months)
that can cause staining/corrosion of walk-in cooler metal surfaces. Muriatic acid liquid and fumes,
which is often used by concrete contractors, will also cause staining/corrosion. We recommend that
our customers and their General Contractors fully understand the cure time of the concrete, tile
grout, and any other materials in proximity to the walk-in and provide adequate ventilation to move
these gases out and away from the walk-in cooler. Inadequate ventilation or ventilation for too short
of a time may result in staining/corrosion of walk-in cooler metal. This staining/corrosion is not
covered by warranty. If in doubt, contact your concrete supplier, tile contractor, general contractor,
etc. for the number of days for the concrete, grout, and other construction materials to have fully
outgassed and install your walk-in cooler after this date.

ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION INTRUCTIONS
Your walk-in cooler panels, door, screeding, hardware, or outdoor package might differ in design or
looks from the ones shown in this manual and the installation video.
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.
ATTENTION!
Enclosed with the contents of your cooler, inside the hardware box, is a Set-up drawing,
showing the identification and proper placement of your walk-in cooler panels.

WALK-IN INSTALLATION WITH A FLOOR OPTION
Your walk-in cooler panels, door, screeding, hardware, or outdoor package might differ in design or
looks from the ones shown in this manual and the installation video.
YOUR WALK-IN COOLER HAS BEEN PRE-ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY BEFORE CRATING TO ENSURE
PROPER FIT OF ALL PANELS AND TO ENSURE CORRECT DOOR OPERATION.
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 the floor panels around
the seams and perimeter and located under the position of the cam-locks is suggested to
level the floor.

[e-mail]
2020 © Store It Cold, LLC. 10 Rev 2020-8A. All Rights Reserved.
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. DO NOT START YOUR WALLS UNTIL YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT THE FLOOR ASSEMBLY IS
COMPLETELY LEVEL (FRONT TO BACK AND LEFT TO RIGHT).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. If the wall panels
have a stair-step appearance at the top, the floor is not level. In that case, stop immediately
and follow the previous instructions on leveling the floor (Step 2).

5. 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 floor, lock to the adjacent wall panel and
double check for alignment making sure at all times that 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. Cut the
“shipping metal band”at the bottom of the door panel with a pair of metal snips. Follow
the same recommendations as when installing the wall panels. Door frame panel must be
LEVEL and PLUMB before locking in position. Ensure it is flush at the top with all adjacent
panels. If you have a cooler with a floor, DO NOT screw-in the door threshold yet.

GENERAL TIPS FOR PROPER DOOR INSTALLATION
•Level and plumb door frame
•Frame legs are level to each other.
•Frame legs are to be in plane with each other. Check with 4’ straight edge across 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.
•On coolers with a floor, ensure the door panel cam-locks are locking correctly with
the floor ones when engaged
•Verify function of door, door locks and emergency release when door is locked.
•Adjust door closer if needed.
8. Proceed to install the rest of the wall panels in the same way the other wall panels where
installed, leaving the front left or right corner for last.

9. Close the wall enclosure by installing the last wall panel and give a last check around your
box to make sure all surfaces are flush and the top edges of the walls are all level.
10. Select the first ceiling panel from your Set-up drawing and place it on the corresponding side
of the cooler indicated in the drawing. Ensure that it sits properly on all the tongue and
groove edges and that it is flush with the corners and walls on the outside.

11. Lock the ceiling panel to the wall panels using the Hex Wrench.
12. Proceed with the next adjacent ceiling panel marked in your drawing, making sure that it sits
properly on all the tongue and groove edges and that it is flush with the corners and walls on
the outside. Lock the panel to the adjacent panel first and then lock the panel to the walls.

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.
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
16. Enclosure Set-up finished.
17. Last Steps on pages 17 (coolers with floor) & 18 (coolers with no floor).

SECURING DOOR THRESHOLD TO THE FLOOR
ONLY for coolers with an insulated floor. Coolers with NO floor will NOT have a threshold
Across the bottom of each door opening is a stainless-steel threshold.
Secure the threshold by using self-drilling metal 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).

SECURING THE DOOR PANEL TO THE FLOOR
ONLY for Coolers with NO floor! Install anchoring brackets ONLY after the door has been checked
for correct operation and door frame has been confirmed to be level and plumbed.
Your cooler with no floor includes the following hardware to anchor your door frame to the floor
inside:
-2 Angle pieces –16-gauge clips with 1/4” pre-drilled hole
-8 Anchors –3/16” x 1-3/4” Hex washer head Tapcon

WALK-IN COOLER INSTALLATION WITHOUT FLOOR OPTION
Your walk-in cooler panels, door, screeding, hardware, or outdoor package might differ in design
or looks from the ones shown in this manual and the installation video.
YOUR WALK-IN COOLER HAS BEEN PRE-ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY BEFORE CRATING TO ENSURE
PROPER FIT OF ALL PANELS AND TO ENSURE CORRECT DOOR OPERATION.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COOLERS WITH NO FLOOR!
Having a successful cooler installation begins with HAVING AN EXISTING LEVEL SURFACE TO
ASSEMBLE YOUR COOLER. If the floor is slightly unlevel, it will be necessary to install shims under
the wall panels inside the vinyl screed until the wall panels are flush at the top.
NOTE: The vinyl screed has been pre-cut at the factory to match the layout of your cooler. If you
have to cut a piece of screeding you can use a miter saw or a hand saw. A piece numbered “0” may
be included as an extra piece.
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. DO NOT anchor to the floor.
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 and level. Use
the wrench to secure the wall panels together to start the wall. See Pic on next page.

2020 © Store It Cold, LLC. 20 Rev 2020-8A. All Rights Reserved.
4. If the wall panels have a stair-step appearance at the top, the floor is not level. In that
case, stop immediately and follow instructions on leveling the wall panels with shims for
slightly unlevel floors. Check for alignment to make sure the panels are flush with each other
as you proceed. If they are not, loose the cam-locks, shim as necessary, adjust, and lock again
until they are level and flush at the top.
You can also install small shims as necessary under vinyl screed corners or across the panel
as needed, to ensure levelness of panels and walls across the top.
5. Select the next adjacent wall panel, going in a clockwise direction around the perimeter and
follow the same steps as above: Align, level, and lock to the adjacent wall panel. ALWAYS
double check for alignment making sure panel is flush and level on all sides and on top with
the adjacent panels.
