About The SEALS of Charleston – Your Local Refrigeration Gasket Specialists

Our Local Commitment

  • Owner Payden Mitchell brings over a decade of hands-on restaurant leadership to every service call, former SONIC Drive-In District Manager, ServSafe Certified Instructor and Proctor, with a degree in Environmental Education. Alongside business partner Karry Stroner, he leads with one philosophy: serve people first, and success will follow.
  • Payden and his team are proud members of the South Carolina Restaurant Association, the Lowcountry Hospitality Association, and the School Nutrition Association of South Carolina. Guided by Integrity, Accountability, Excellence, and Teamwork, we help kitchens save energy, protect inspection scores, and safeguard Charleston’s culinary reputation.

How We Deliver Value

  • From downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant, Summerville, and Goose Creek, we serve restaurants, hotels and resorts, hospitals like MUSC and Roper St. Francis, schools including The Citadel and College of Charleston, event venues, and supermarkets, installing precision-fitted gaskets, door sweeps, hinges, strip curtains, closers, and custom metal work.
  • Charleston’s coastal heat, humidity, and nonstop food scene push equipment to the limit, so we move fast. Our rapid response program serves luxury hotels in Downtown Charleston, Kiawah Island, and Isle of Palms, keeping cold-side equipment performing perfectly without disturbing guests or disrupting service.

Gasket Service in Mount Pleasant, Summerville, North Charleston, Goose Creek

The SEALS of Charleston is driven by a clear purpose and a commitment to excellence. Our customers count on us because we’ve been in their shoes. We understand what it takes to run a busy kitchen and the value of keeping coolers running at peak performance. Whether it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant in downtown Charleston or a school cafeteria in Summerville, our promise is simple — show up, do great work, and stand behind every seal we install.

Compliance Assurance

Our trained service professionals help you stay ahead of local and state health inspections, reducing the risk of costly violations, food waste, and a tainted reputation.

Gasket Specialists

The SEALS know the size and specs of your commercial refrigerator gaskets. We custom-fabricate and install perfect-fit refrigeration door gaskets for all makes and models, from reach-in units to walk-in cooler gaskets, saving you time and money.

Energy & Cost Savings

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

Rapid Response

With flexible scheduling, emergency response, and proactive inspection programs, we keep kitchens across Mount Pleasant and the surrounding area inspection-ready and running smoothly, especially when that unexpected gasket fails.

Transparent Pricing

No trip fees, ever. All gaskets come with a 120 warranty, and if you’re a new customer, we’ll gladly earn your business with a complimentary inspection and then a first free gasket.

More Than Gaskets

We stand behind everything we install—no callbacks, no shortcuts, just quality craftsmanship and genuine care for the items your kitchen needs, from door hinges, door sweeps, strip curtains, diamond plating, and more. We are your trusted partner for commercial kitchen gaskets and the hardware that keeps your kitchen operating.
