Description
The True GDM-49-HC~TSL01 glass door merchandiser is designed for high-visibility refrigerated display in convenience stores, grocery stores, cafés, and foodservice environments. This two-section unit features double-pane, thermally insulated glass doors that help minimize heat transfer while allowing customers to clearly view displayed products. Each door is equipped with a contoured extruded handle for smooth, comfortable operation, while magnetic door gaskets create a tight seal to prevent cold air loss and are removable for easy cleaning or replacement.
Why True
- Made in the USA. True builds its refrigeration at its own manufacturing facilities in Missouri.
- Family-owned since 1945. Four generations building commercial refrigeration.
- 7-year warranty. True covers parts, labor and the compressor for 7 years on its R290 hydrocarbon foodservice units. True’s warranty terms apply.
- Often specified by name. Many chains and franchises call for True on their equipment lists.
To improve reliability and serviceability, the refrigeration system is bottom mounted, keeping key components away from grease and heat while simplifying maintenance access. This design also raises the bottom shelf, positioning products at an easy-to-see and easy-to-reach height. Using an efficient capillary tube system with eco-friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, the merchandiser consistently maintains temperatures between 33°F and 38°F, ideal for chilled beverages and packaged foods. High-efficiency evaporator and condenser fan motors circulate air evenly throughout the cabinet while reducing heat output and energy consumption.
For long-term performance, the condenser fan motor features an automatic reverse cycle that runs briefly at startup to clear dust and debris from the condensing coil. This self-cleaning function helps maintain efficient operation, supports consistent temperature control, and lowers energy usage when paired with routine preventive maintenance.
The cabinet is built for durability and daily commercial use, with a black powder-coated steel exterior that resists wear and a bright white aluminum interior liner that won’t peel or chip. A stainless steel floor with coved corners and a built-in drain make interior cleaning fast and efficient. Inside, eight adjustable PVC-coated wire shelves provide flexible merchandising options, while LED interior lighting and an illuminated sign panel enhance product presentation and customer engagement.

Common Questions
Is shipping free, and is liftgate delivery included?
Yes. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC, with nothing added at checkout. Larger items ship by freight truck with liftgate delivery included, and the carrier calls ahead to schedule. Smaller items ship by parcel. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
Do I need a plumber or electrician?
Usually not. Most refrigeration plugs into an outlet, so check the voltage and plug type in the specifications above. After delivery, let it stand upright for several hours (ideally 24) before plugging it in so the refrigerant can settle.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. It is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, shown on this page. Keep your delivery paperwork, and inspect the unit for freight damage before signing for it.
Can I pick it up instead of having it shipped?
Equipment like this ships directly from the manufacturer's warehouse, so pickup usually is not available. If you are in the NJ/NY area, call 877-558-2253 and we will check for you.
