Where to buy freezer seals: 4 options

When sourcing commercial freezer seals, you have four main options, as follows:

• Buy from the original manufacturer
• Buy from an online marketplace
• Buy from an online spares supplier
• Buy from a freezer gasket specialist

We will go through each of these alternatives in turn, detailing the pros and cons of the firts three, and explaining why buying from a freezer gasket specialist like Gasket Guy is the best option.

Buying from your freezer's original manufacturer

When considering where to buy freezer seals, it may seem natural to go to the original manufacturer of your freezer. But this is not always the best course of action.

Of course, if your freezer is under warranty and you can get a free replacement seal, you would want to do this. Otherwise, you might find that the price for a new freezer seal is higher than you thought.

If replacement parts are provided as part of a service and maintenance package, you may be unable to get hold of a one off part without signing up. If you are able to purchase a single freezer seal, this may be priced higher to try and convince you to sign up for a service deal.

Buying direct from a manufacturer can also get complicated if you have multiple freezers from different brands, especially if some are quite old. Keeping track of all the paperwork can be difficult and your freezer may become obsolete? You might then find you are pressurised to upgrade older freezers.

Buying from an online marketplace

Other popular destinations for business owners wondering where to buy freezer seals are Amazon, eBay and similar online marketplaces.

While you could source freezer seals for low prices here, it is very much a lottery. Without the specialist attention from freezer seal experts, product listings can be vague at best and deliberately misleading at worst.

We recommend you avoid so-called 'universal freezer seals'. These hardly ever fit properly (and customer reviews are usually condemning).

When it comes to hygiene and energy efficiency, business owners are unwise to cut corners or take risks.

Buying from an online spares supplier

A reasonable option for competitively priced freezer seals are reputable online appliance spares retailers.

While the descriptions and categorisation of freezer seals are better than those found on general online marketplaces, it can still be time-consuming to find the exact freezer seal you need, especially with less popular models.
