Inside Safety Release Knob for Walk-in Cooler Doors

The Inside Safety Release Knob for Walk-in Cooler Doors is an essential safety feature designed to protect individuals working inside refrigerated environments by ensuring a reliable means of egress. This push knob release is engineered to immediately open the door from the inside, even if the exterior latch is secured with a cylinder lock, a padlock, or both. It offers an important layer of security, preventing entrapment and ensuring compliance with safety codes in commercial kitchens, grocery stores, food processing plants, and other facilities that use walk-in coolers or freezers.

Constructed from durable fiberglass-reinforced polyester, the release housing resists cold air conductivity, helping maintain proper internal temperatures and reducing energy loss. The solid brass knob is easy to grip and operate, while the stainless steel push rod delivers reliable performance and long-term durability. The push rod measures 6.07 inches long (not including the knob), is 1/2 inch thick, and is designed to perform reliably under frequent use. A large 2.76-inch diameter grey plunger makes the release mechanism easy to locate quickly in emergency situations.

Designed for 4-inch-thick walk-in cooler doors, this surface-mounted unit is built for secure installation and efficient functionality. The short-stroke mechanism ensures a fast and effortless release with minimal inward push, allowing for rapid exit in high-stress or low-light conditions. The high-visibility Safety-Glow knob adds an extra safety layer by remaining visible even in dim environments, improving accessibility and awareness. This robust, easy-to-install inside safety release is an excellent addition to any commercial walk-in refrigeration system where safety and compliance are critical.
