Tips for Getting Rid of a Locked Cold Room

Professional cold rooms today are equipped with all necessary safety features that allow an easy opening in an emergency.

This applies to KESKİNSO cold room doors designed and manufactured by us.

The locking system of our doors complies with the European standard for cold storage doors, meaning that for someone inside, our cold storage doors can be opened from the inside even if they are locked with a key from the outside.

This essential feature can be life-saving, as the human body cannot tolerate cold for a long time and locking in a cold room can be a life-threatening experience.

Let's take a look at what you can do when you are locked in a cold room. We've collected our best tips and tricks to make you safe and sound in all conditions:

KESKİNSO Our cold storage doors are locked from the inside and you can open them from the inside even if you stay inside.

Even if the cold storage is dark, the phosphorescent warning sign on the lock system of our cold room door will help you find the door.

Start with the door. If there is light inside, it is easy to find the door. In case it gets dark, look for the luminescent warning sign on the door. If you still cannot find the door, you will need to use your hand and try to feel where the door is.

By the way, if you see an alarm bell, look around so you can signal an emergency. Many cold rooms are equipped with an emergency hammer to break the wall structure or door.

Once you find the door, try the lock first. Most cold room doors should have an emergency opener, usually a push button or release handle, inside. Press it firmly. If the door gets stuck, stretch your shoulders. It is also possible that only the rubber seal of the door freezes without the locking system being broken.

If the cold room door does not open under strong pressure, you can try to kick the lock system. Missing latches are usually made of plastic or aluminum and must eventually be opened with a powerful kick.

If you get stuck completely without hope of opening the door, your only chance is to disable the cooling system.

Doing this as soon as possible, especially in rooms below 0 ° C, because in such an extreme situation the human body begins to cool very quickly.

Carefully inspect the cooling system. If evaporation is facilitated by a fan, block the fan's path from turning. This way, the air no longer cools the space and the heat exchanger freezes.

This may take some time, so look for the refrigerant pipe that comes in the meantime. These are usually copper pipes that are easy to deform. To prevent the coolant from entering the cold room, try to straighten the pipe without breaking it with a hard object.

Look for the PVC drain of the condensate. If you're lucky, you can take it to a room next door or outside and shout from inside.

We hope you found our guide useful but you won't have to use it in practice. We emphasize that choosing a safe cold room door is critical not only to saving energy but also to occupational safety.
