I have an upright freezer and the seal seems to be weakening through the years. Could this be used to keep the door secured easily?

I have no doubt that the Velcro is strong enough to hold but a refrigerator requires a hermetic seal and Velcro would not provide that. I would recommend contacting your power company for a referral to a good repair center. Replacing the seal material should be no more expensive than the cost of the Velcro. Good luck!

On my door there is a channel attached to the bottom which holds this seal. Thus the reason for the angle on the seal itself. If you have a channel at the bottom of the door you would order a seal that is not "bent" that would hang straight down from the bottom.

It will close the edges if there's a space between the door and frame. The seal is good and tight. I use it because I'm a smoker and don't want to spread the smell around. Works great for that.

I have not used mine in the freezer. They appear to be made from a very high quality, rigid plastic. I am not sure what the cold would do to the seal on the lid, or to the clear plastic. Frankly, I prefer Ziploc Freezer bags for anything I have to freeze. I press the air out of the bag to better preserve the food, and also to help it fit better by taking less space. I believe the Oxo containers would take up too much room in the freezer, personally. That space is always at a premium.

I think the seal would be adequate but the containers may be a little too brittle when frozen.

Yes an impulse heat sealer or foodsaver like pump is necessary to seal these shut, although these bags are very thin and don't seal well and break easily after being frozen and the plastic stretching. Look into zippops they are the best alternative I found with good thick plastic and a ziplock like seal so you don't need a heat sealer even though you can use one anyway. This product here isn't good though

Yes. We used it for a door that had been scewed out of line, due to frost last winter.We got ad-a-lock to secure the door at night. It worked very well.

Looks like you've got some good answers! I don't have a very good set up to do that due to a kitchen planning flaw that doesn't allow the freezer door to open fully. *sigh*

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.

I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think they hold their "freeze" very long at all. I'd use a small freezer pack instead.

It would depend on what material the refrigerator door was made of. I expect if it was a smooth metal surface, it would stick. Generally, it is not super sticky.

I think it can be - I have never used this particular one for that purpose, but I regularly use Glasslock containers to freeze all kinds of items. I would leave some space to allow for expansion.

You can, but I would seal what's inside in a zip lock freezer bag. Make sure the box is upright otherwise it would collapse under pressure. I wouldn't burry it to deep.

That should not hurt a thing. I use them in totes sometimes and close the lidson the cable directly. The seal on the freezer door will not hurt it..

From my experience, it works great as a refrigerator and great as an extra freezer at normal temps, but when you lower the temps you get a lot of built up ice. I mean an inch of ice all over everything in the freezer after just 3 days. with the doors closed and no moisture getting in. Sorry.

its definitely worth a try. I installed it on my freezer. saved me from getting new one. check on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-47kVjzurF4

I would think so. I used it to seal the door on my smoker which is basically the same thing.
