Choosing a Double Door or Commercial Bar Fridge

A double door bar fridge gives pubs, cafes, clubs, event venues and serious home bars the capacity and display space a single door unit cannot match. This range includes hinged double glass door, sliding double door and triple door commercial bar fridges.

Because commercial bar fridges run constantly and are opened all day, performance and efficiency matter as much as size.

Hinged vs sliding doors

Hinged doors are the standard for back bar coolers and need clear space to swing open. Sliding doors save room in tight service areas where a swinging door would be in the way. Check the clearance in front of the fridge before you decide.

Two doors or three

A 2 door bar fridge suits a home bar, small cafe or function room. A triple door commercial bar fridge adds capacity and shelving for venues that stock a wide range of bottles, cans and mixers. Match capacity to peak service, not average days.

Heat, ventilation and noise

Commercial units work harder in hot rooms, so look for a tropical rated bar fridge if the area is warm. Allow ventilation clearance for the compressor, and note that forced-air commercial fridges can be louder than domestic models, which is fine behind a bar but noticeable near a lounge or television.

Running costs

A commercial bar fridge can be one of the bigger electricity loads in a venue. Good door seals, LED lighting and sensible placement away from ovens and direct sun all help keep running costs down.

Frequently asked questions

How much space does a double door bar fridge need?

Allow for the fridge dimensions, door swing for hinged models and the ventilation clearance listed by the manufacturer.
