What Are Anthony Door Gaskets?

Anthony gaskets are a part of an Anthony International commercial refrigeration door frame that seals the unit’s doors closed to prevent heat leakage, spoiled inventory, and energy loss. Anthony gaskets have excellent elastic recovery across a wide temperature range for an air-tight seal in high-traffic use.

Anthony Gasket Commercial Refrigeration Applications

Anthony gaskets are used in the following commercial refrigeration appliances:

• Glass door merchandisers

• Freezers

• Reach-in refrigerators

• Walk-in coolers

Common industries that use Anthony refrigeration are beverage distributors, convenience stores, foodservice operations, and supermarkets.

Anthony Gasket Profiles

Anthony gasket profiles (styles) come in three or four-sided shapes, with sizes ranging from under 23” to over 79”. Gasket profiles refer to the shape and how they’re installed onto your unit’s door frame. They’re not universal and must match the door dimensions of your Anthony model to ensure a secure seal.

The most popular Anthony gasket profiles are AirCell, Single Anvil, and Double Anvil.

Signs You Need an Anthony Door Gasket Replacement

Depending on unit maintenance and usage, Anthony gaskets typically last 1.5 to 3 years until replacement is required. 

Signs it’s time to replace your gasket include:

• Visible gasket cracks, warping, bending, gaps, or hard/brittle texture

• Doors not shutting completely or opening when freezer doors close

• Condensation, frost, and/or mold buildup 

• Warm spots outside the door frame

• Unit not maintaining internal temperatures or showing drastic drops

• Overheating issues and frequent unit repairs

• Energy bill spikes

How to Buy Replacement Door Gaskets for Your Anthony Model

To order Anthony door gasket replacement parts, find the ID tag on top of each door frame of your unit for the following:

• Work Order Number (WO#): OEM serial number for model-specific parts information

• Model Number: Type of gasket profile needed for your model

• Size: Unit door size

Can’t find the ID tag, or it’s faded? You can also get the unit’s outside door dimensions and take a picture of the gasket to send to us at info@breakawayent.com. We’ll assist you with finding the Anthony-equivalent gasket required for your specific model.

How to Replace Anthony Door Gaskets

Here’s how to replace and install door gaskets for your Anthony model step-by-step:

Step 1: Remove the Old Anthony Gasket

Remove your existing gasket from the door grooves. Some models may require removing the handles to access the gasket safely.

Step 2: Clean the Unit Door Grooves

Clean the unit’s door grooves with warm water and mild detergent. Dry leftover liquids in the door groove with a soft cloth.

Step 3: Prep the New Anthony Gasket

Soak the replacement gasket in hot water for 10 minutes for easier installation.

Step 4: Install the Gasket

Find the gasket’s dart-shaped bump, which shows how it’ll insert into the door groove. Firmly press the gasket dart down into the top and bottom of the door’s corners. Then carefully press into the sides, starting from the middle and working towards each corner.

Step 5: Check the Gasket Installation

Check every door corner and side to ensure the gasket is properly installed. Test by closing the unit door to see if it seals. Some Anthony gasket profiles may require time to seal completely within a few hours, but you can carefully use a heat gun to speed up the process.

Anthony Gasket FAQs:

What Are Anthony Gaskets?

Anthony International gaskets are a critical part of a commercial refrigeration unit’s door frame. They provide an air-tight seal to prevent heat leakage, inventory spoilage, and energy loss.

Are Anthony Gaskets Universal?

No, Anthony gaskets aren’t universal. They’re manufactured to fit specific Anthony models and their door sizes. Using the wrong gasket can prevent your unit’s door from sealing shut, leading to energy loss, temperature fluctuations, and performance issues.

How Long Do Anthony Gaskets  Last?

The average lifespan of Anthony gaskets is 1.5 to 3 years, depending on unit maintenance and usage.

When Should I Replace My Anthony Gaskets?

You should replace Anthony gaskets every 1.5 to 3 years or earlier if you find the following signs:

• Doors not shutting completely and/or opening when freezer doors close

• Condensation, frost, or mold/grime buildup 

• Cracks, warps, bends, gaps, or hard/brittle texture on the gasket

• Warm spots outside the door frame

• Unit can’t maintain internal temperatures or shows drastic drops

• Internal overheating or frequent unit repairs

• Drastic energy bill increases

How Do I Replace My Anthony Gasket?

To replace your Anthony gasket, gather your model’s door ID tag information. It provides the part number details needed to buy replacement gaskets that apply to your specific Anthony model and unit door size.

How Do I Find My Anthony Gasket Part Number?

You can find your Anthony gasket part number on the door’s ID tag or the operation manual. You’ll need to gather the work order number (WO#), model number, and door size specs to buy the replacement gasket applicable to your specific Anthony model. 

Can I Do an Anthony Gasket Installation Myself?

Yes, you can do an Anthony gasket installation yourself. You’ll need to carefully remove the old gasket and clean your unit’s door grooves before installing the new one.

It also needs to rest after installation for a few hours, or you can carefully speed up the process with a heat gun.
