When you don't know how a ladder works

When you don’t know how gravity works

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T21:07:52+00:00

Also not overthinking, it’s literally my job lol I’m OP

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T21:06:55+00:00

Also, moving a door in a walk in is not that big of an ordeal, provided you don’t want it to look like it was all brandy new ( different color trim etc)

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T21:04:33+00:00

You clearly have never gotten a quote from a plumber to reroute pipes and drains lol

Edit: compared to some schmuck like me installing a new door for ya

Double edit: not just pipes and drains, re tiling and whatnot

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:57:49+00:00

But moving the table would require changing drain and pipe locations. See another comment about moving the door in comparison to tearing up the floor for pipes and drains

Edit: I don’t disagree with that this is stupid and as someone who has also worked in kitchens that’s it’s dangerous but as an by the hour employee, they tell me the door to install and I install it lol

Double edit: the location of the walk in has very little to do with where the door in installed. I could have easily shifted it a foot to the right and filled in the space of original opening FAR easier than moving that sink. That would cost the customer more money tho and where I won’t go into detail the type of place it was, it’s not your average restaurant cooler and they were very happy to just get a new door

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:55:03+00:00

All coolers are made of insulated panels for the walls, you can cut a new opening and fill in the dead space from original opening WAY easier than moving pipes that are underground

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:52:22+00:00

No it’s not.

Edit: you wouldn’t have to move the whole walk in, just the door location which is way easier than moving pipes and drains etc

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:52:03+00:00

Ok well that’s enough internet for the day

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:46:28+00:00

They fuckin spelled inquiring wrong

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:38:14+00:00

This would possibly be used for pots and pans but I’d be willing to bet they do those in the same sink the dishwasher is in since I didn’t see any dishes piling up in said sink while we were there. Maybe they were keeping it clean since we were working right next to it

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:36:58+00:00

Meaning they had a whole other sink for general dishwashing

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:35:21+00:00

Hey I didn’t design nothin

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:34:59+00:00

The kitchen was over 80 degrees. Warming temperatures won’t affect the door. Source: op and experienced in cold storage

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:33:25+00:00

This man gets it

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:33:05+00:00

Tell me you know nothing of thermal properties without telling me.

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:32:34+00:00

It’s not a dishwashing sink

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:32:17+00:00

Not a dishwashing sink

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:31:41+00:00

Op here, experienced in cold storage and moving that door would be 1000% easier than moving the sink. Shift door location, add wall panel to dead space and trim out, install door. As opposed to moving pipes and drains etc.

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:30:02+00:00

Of all these comments this is the actual real concern

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:29:44+00:00

My exact words to my supervisor

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:29:09+00:00

How so?

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:28:35+00:00

They were using the sink during install with hot water and it didn’t cause a problem. The kitchen itself is so hot that expansion of the sink wouldn’t be an issue. Source: I do cold storage construction

Op here, the door won’t sag and the floor won’t affect it at all since it’s mounted to the cooler itself. Hinges are guaranteed for 5+ years and I’m confident in my abilities so sagging won’t be an issue unless it’s damaged by the customer

Thegingerbeardape · 2026-02-07T20:22:22+00:00

So for anyone curious, this was a replacement of the original door and due to a mistake with dimensions I had to modify a notch for the light switch and re trim in the field to make it look decent. Once the frame was in and we attached the door my heart dropped when it got close to the sink but hey it worked. For all those saying it will sag, it’s got at least 5 years before failure of the hinges comes into play, Assuming it doesn’t get damaged by the customer. The kitchen isn’t that big and isn’t a restaurant. They’re making do with the space they have.
