A glass door reach-in refrigerator lets staff and customers see what is inside without opening the door, so you save time and keep the cold in.

They are part of our reach-in refrigeration range.
Types of glass door reach-in refrigerators
Swing glass door refrigerators
Hinged glass doors are the most common style. They seal tightly, open wide for loading and suit both back-of-house prep and front-of-house display.
Double door glass refrigerators
A double door glass refrigerator doubles the storage in a footprint of roughly 50–55 in, making it a popular choice for busy restaurants and catering kitchens.
Pass-through glass door refrigerators
Pass-through models have doors on both sides, so the kitchen can load from the back while servers or customers take product from the front.
How to choose a glass door reach-in refrigerator

Purpose: decide whether the unit is mainly for storage or for display; display use calls for good LED lighting and a clean interior finish.
Glass type: insulated, low-condensation glass helps hold temperature and keeps the view clear in warm rooms.
Capacity and footprint: measure the space, doorways and door swing, and size the unit to your daily stock.
Power: most units run on 115 V; check the plug type and circuit requirements for each model.
Ventilation: leave clearance around the compressor and keep the unit away from ovens and fryers.
Energy use: glass doors use somewhat more energy than solid doors, so efficient compressors and LED lighting matter.

Frequently asked questions
Is a glass door refrigerator less efficient than a solid door?
Glass insulates less than a solid insulated door, so glass door units generally use a little more energy. Modern insulated glass and LED lighting narrow the gap.
Can a glass door reach-in be used for customer self-serve?
Many can, but for packaged drinks and grab-and-go items a dedicated merchandiser is often the better fit. A glass door reach-in suits kitchens that also want visible storage.
What temperature does a glass door refrigerator hold?
Like other commercial refrigerators, most hold about 33–41°F (1–5°C).
Why does the glass fog up?
Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets the cold glass. Insulated or heated glass, proper door closing and good room ventilation help reduce it.
