    The emergency release on walk-in freezers isn’t great either.

    It can ice up or jam, the handle can be bent, and because the door opens outward all it takes is one poorly placed pallet and you can be trapped.

    When I worked with one my cell phone didn’t work inside either.

      I haven’t worked in many places with a walk in freezer, but the several I have all had alarms in them. Not automatic, but if the door was stuck there was a big red button next to it that would set off a siren and flashing light outside.

        Huh, the one I worked in didn’t have that.

        It just had a glow in the dark handle for the door.

      makes sense, it’s basically a giant Faraday cage
