GUIDE
NOR-LAKE SCIENTIFIC
WALK-IN SPECIFICATIONS
Mini-Room walk-ins are built of modular panels and
are insulated with foamed-in-place polyurethane
insulation. Each panel is designed to ensure
ease of installation, long term reliability and high
insulating efficiency.
A. All panels are manufactured with male and
female mating rails to ensure proper alignment
during installation. The polyurethane insulation
wraps around the return bend metal seams on
both sections to create a lightweight panel of
exceptional strength and durability. All panels are
a full four (4) inches thick and provide a superior
insulating value.
B. The foamed-in-place cam locking fasteners ensure
an airtight seal for maximum energy efficiency.
C. Mini-Room panel gaskets around the outer
perimeter of the panel are continuous, without
cuts or breaks at corners. The Nor-Lake patented
gasket design provides a foamed-in-place gasket
as an integral part of the panel. Gaskets cannot
fall off or pull off during shipment or installation.
D. Panels lock together tightly to assure an energy
efficient walk-in.
E. Edge caps for ends of floor and ceiling panels
are foamed-in-place rather than overlapped or
mechanically fastened. Edge caps cannot come
loose, and they stay in place through the life of
the walk-in.
F. Panel Finishes:
Interior and exterior surfaces are 26 gauge
corrosion resistant stucco embossed coated steel.
Models supplied with a floor will include a smooth
aluminum interior floor surface.
Insulation:
Panels are four (4) inches thick, metal clad and
foamed-in-place with HFC-134a polyurethane
insulation which is CFC and HCFC free.
Optional Features:
G. Duplex receptacles are foamed-in-place and ush
mounted with the panel surface with all electrical
wiring foamed-in-place behind the panel skin for
safety, aesthetics, and professional appearance.
H. Hi/Lo Alarm provides accurate temperature
monitoring with easy to read LED display
and audible alert when temperature is out of
tolerance.
I. The Nor-Lake Scientic family of control panels
offers a variety of control needs including
temperature monitoring of air and product
temperatures, monitoring ˚C or ˚F, adjustment of
temperature, documentation of temperature on
chart recorders and audible and visual alarms.
Advanced control provides a +/- 0.15˚C and +/-
1.0% accuracy.
Other features of the control panel are emergency
shutdown switch, easily adjustable air and product
Hi/Lo temperature and alarm settings, key lock
door for security, touch pad programming, easy
to read alphanumeric displays, dry contacts for
remote alarm and power failure alarm.
Custom designed control panels are available for
unique applications.

DOOR
Door sections are factory tested to assure
proper fit, performance and alignment. All
doors feature a stepped profile design that
serves as a barrier to air flow which results
in an energy efficient door system.
Each Mini-Room walk-in compartment is
equipped with a 26” wide door. Optional
30" and 36" wide doors are available.The
height of the door opening varies with
the series of Mini-Room walk-in ordered.
The 45 Series has a 59” high door, the
Standard Series (6’7” high) has a 66”
high door and the 74 and 77 Series MiniRoom walk-ins have a 78” high door.
The door is self-closing, flush mounted,
infitting and constructed to incorporate
heavy duty, molded ABS breaker which is
permanently foamed-in-place.
Doors are available with right or left side
hinges and include two cam-lift hinges
(one with spring assist), patented field
adjustable top hinge with locking set screw,
spring actuated door closer, NL 9800
deadbolt locking handle with independent
key/padlock feature and inside safety
release. The doors are pre-hung in a four
foot wide frame panel which is equipped
with replaceable perimeter heater wire,
magnetic stainless steel trim, digital
thermometer, vapor-proof light fixture and
switch with exterior pilot indicator light.
The door section is completely pre-wired
within concealed conduit inside the door
frame panel. 115/60/1 electrical is field
wired to a junction box which is surface
mounted on the interior frame above the
vapor proof light fixture.
Hinges and door handle are mounted to
1/2” synthetic insulated tapping plates.
Each door section is complete with a
FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) heated
threshold.
FLOOR CONSTRUCTION
Floor panels (when supplied) are similar
in construction to the wall panels except
they are made to withstand uniformly
distributed floor loads of up to 800 pounds
per square foot. The interior floor metal is
smooth aluminum.
The 74 Series, floorless models, are
supplied with a patented vinyl floor sealer
to stop conductivity at floor level. This
unique sealer sits flat on existing floors
and fits tightly against the interior/exterior
wall panels. The walk-in wall panel is
supported on the shoulder of the sealer
so the foam edge is free of compressing
weight. The vinyl floor sealer is NSF
listed.
