Reach-in refrigerators are upright cabinets that keep bulk ingredients, prepped items and backups close to the line. They come in one, two and three section widths, with solid or glass doors, full or half doors, and compressors mounted at the top or bottom. Restaurants, bakeries, schools and healthcare kitchens use them as everyday storage where a walk-in is too large or too far away, or as overflow beside one.

Before you buy
- Size the cabinet by the pans, sheet trays and cases you store rather than by cubic feet alone, and check whether the shelves or pan slides take full-size pans and trays.
- Weigh the compressor position against the room: a bottom-mount unit draws air from near the floor and raises the lowest shelf to an easier height, while a top-mount unit keeps the condenser clear of floor-level flour, dust and grease.
- Check the door swing and hinge side against the aisle and neighbouring equipment, and confirm whether the doors can be re-hinged on site if the layout changes.
- Compare full doors with half doors: half doors let out less cold air on each opening in a busy kitchen, while full doors make loading tall items easier.
- Measure the delivery path, because a two or three section cabinet may need its doors removed to pass through a standard doorway.
Common questions
Should a reach-in refrigerator have solid or glass doors?
- Solid doors insulate better and hide stock, which suits back-of-house storage. Glass doors let staff find items without opening the door and are common where guests or servers see the unit, though glass lets in more heat than an insulated door. Many kitchens use solid doors on the line and glass doors on the service side.
What is a pass-thru reach-in refrigerator?
- A pass-thru reach-in has doors on both the front and the back, so the kitchen can load it from one side while servers or another station take from the other. It suits banquet halls, cafeterias and kitchens that separate prep from service, but it needs clear floor space on both sides.
How much reach-in capacity does a restaurant need?
- There is no fixed rule, because it depends on delivery frequency, the menu and whether a walk-in carries the bulk stock. A practical method is to count the pans, cases and trays you hold between deliveries at your busiest point, then add room for air to circulate, since a packed cabinet cools unevenly.
