Gasket Service in Marion, Waynesville, Franklin, Hendersonville and More

The SEALS of Asheville is Western North Carolina’s trusted provider of commercial refrigerator gaskets, helping restaurants and every kind of commercial kitchen across the mountains stay compliant, efficient, and safe. Our work prevents problems, lowers energy costs, and protects the reputation you’ve built serving both locals and the millions of visitors who pass through every year.

Industry-Leading 120-Day Warranty

Every custom-fit commercial refrigerator gasket we install fits any make or model and comes backed by a 120-day warranty — no callbacks, no shortcuts.

Energy Efficiency That Pays for Itself

A tight, professionally installed gasket keeps cold air in and energy costs down, often trimming utility bills while helping your equipment last longer and your bottom line grow stronger.

Free Inspections, Honest Recommendations

We advise, you decide. A free inspection and full kitchen analysis show you exactly what’s failing, so you can choose what’s best for your kitchen — never a hard sell.

Compliance & Food-Safety Safeguard

Our proactive maintenance program keeps you ahead of any issue — or health inspection — so your refrigeration keeps food cold, fresh, and code-compliant every single day.

Precision-Fit Commercial Gaskets

Fit for every make and model, size, and shape. From reach-in units to walk-in cooler gaskets, we fit the country’s best refrigeration gasket brands — True, Traulsen, Hoshizaki, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Delfield, and just about everything else.

Built for a Year-Round Kitchen

Mountain tourism here runs across all four seasons, so there’s rarely a slow week to work around. We respond quickly, work clean, schedule around your busiest hours, and stay out of your staff’s way — keeping coolers at temperature while guests keep coming through the door.

About The SEALS of Asheville – Your Local Refrigeration Gasket Specialists

Our Local Commitment

  • The SEALS of Asheville is owned by founder Andy Dinkin and run locally by Territory Manager Sam Miller, who hold every kitchen in these mountains to one simple standard: treat it like it belongs to a neighbor. Buncombe County welcomed 12.5 million visitors in 2021, and the kitchens feeding that volume cannot afford a walk-in door that leaks cold air.
  • Honest pricing, careful workmanship, and steady follow-through guide how we operate. A properly sealed door holds temperature, trims energy costs, keeps health inspectors satisfied, and protects the reputation an operator spent years building. We measure, install, and verify the fit before we leave your property.

How We Deliver Value

  • We serve commercial kitchens across Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, and Black Mountain, from restaurants and hotels to hospitals, school systems, grocery stores, and casinos. Our technicians install precision-fit refrigeration gaskets, door sweeps, strip curtains, hinges, and cutting boards, custom-measured for your equipment and fitted correctly on the first visit.
  • Mountain tourism here runs year-round rather than through a single peak season, so there is rarely a slow week to schedule repairs around. We respond quickly, work clean, and stay out of your staff’s way, keeping coolers at temperature while guests keep coming through the door

    The 3 H’s Make Us Better

    Helpful

    We serve our customers, teammates, and partners with a spirit of generosity and professionalism—doing what’s right, not what’s easy.

    Habitual

    We build winning habits through consistency, accountability, and follow-through—because excellence isn’t a one-time act, it’s what we do every day.

    FAQs

    We cover Asheville and the surrounding mountain communities, including Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Waynesville, Franklin, and Marion, plus Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood, and McDowell counties. If your kitchen sits along those mountain corridors, we come to you for the complimentary inspection and written estimate. There are no trip fees, whether you are downtown or an hour out on a two-lane road.

    Yes. Asheville’s hotel base has grown steadily, with dozens of properties opening in recent decades, and most run breakfast service, banquets, and bar coolers on tight schedules. We schedule around your business hours and never work through the lunch or dinner rush. Walk-in door gaskets, sweeps, and closers get measured, custom-fit to OE spec, and installed while the kitchen keeps moving.

    We do. Buncombe County drew about 12.5 million visitors in 2021, and mountain tourism runs across all four seasons rather than one summer spike. That means reach-in and prep table doors get opened thousands of times a week, all year. Our quarterly inspection program catches worn, torn, or moldy gaskets before a health inspector or a warm walk-in finds them first.

    The SEALS of Asheville is run locally by Territory Manager Sam Miller and owned by founder Andy Dinkin, who started The SEALS in North Carolina in 2010 and began franchising the brand in 2021. Every job starts the same way: a free inspection, a full kitchen analysis, and a written recommendation before any work begins.

    Grocery stores, hotels and resorts, hospitals and healthcare facilities, school systems, universities and colleges, casinos, convenience stores, event venues and catering companies, food trucks, and ice cream shops. We stock and fit gaskets for True, Traulsen, Hoshizaki, Delfield, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Kolpak, and other major brands, and we number and inventory each unit so future replacements are quick.
