Old "Capitol" walk in freezer door frame heater

[tcape]

walk in was removed from and old fire hall and relocated to a restaurant. The door frame heater strip is missing at the threshold. Looks like the way it was installed on the sides of the door frame is an approx 1 inch wide strip of aluminum with self adhesive strip and the heater is behind it. No way to remove the strip without ruining it and of course it's not going to stick anymore. Can I still get oem material from Capitol?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Probably not, but check refrigeration hardware.

Most of the threshold heaters I’ve seen consist of a metal base with a Masonite strip that’s been grooved to hold the heater then a Stainless Steel saddle. The heater runs from the light switch box around the door frame and saddle and back to the switch box.
In Time:
The saddle gets bent
Masonite get wet and turns to mush
The base metal rusts away.
You can try Refrigeration Hardware Supply or Case parts have the exact dimensions ready.
Something that old you may be better off getting a replacement frame and door!

I found a source, they have 3/4 and 1 inch wide and they come in 4 footers and 8 footers. Woohoo!
