Why it works for game

A sealed, insulated room that holds temperature, locks, and plugs in.

Cold on your schedule

The cooler holds game at 39°F, so a warm week doesn't decide when you process.

Freezer on every size

Pick the −4°F freezer setup for cut, wrapped, and packaged meat.

Plug in, no plumbing

Refrigeration sits on the ceiling and ships with a cord and plug. Indoor models need no water or drain lines.

Locks up

The deadbolt takes a key or padlock, and an inside release opens it from within.

A floor that takes weight

The aluminum floor is rated to 800 lb per square foot, so carts and full coolers can go in.

Built like lab equipment

It is the same Mini Room Norlake Scientific builds for labs: 4-inch foamed panels and a 15-year panel warranty.

Options worth adding for game

  • 30" or 36" door

    Standard doors are 26" wide. Go wider for carts and carcasses.

  • 36" exterior ramp

    Roll carts over the threshold.

  • Shelving kits

    Three- or four-tier shelving for boxed and packaged meat.

  • LED lighting

    24" or 48" LED fixtures.

Cooler or freezer?

Most hunters use a cooler to chill and age game, and a freezer once the meat is cut and wrapped.

Cooler

+4°C / 39°F

USDA says bacteria grow fastest between 40°F and 140°F, so keep cold meat at 40°F or below. Use the cooler to chill and age game before processing.

Freezer

−20°C / −4°F

USDA says food held constantly at 0°F stays safe. Use the freezer for cut, wrapped, and packaged meat.

Game locker FAQ

Straight answers before you pick a size.

What is a game locker?
A game locker is a walk-in cooler or freezer used to chill, age, and store deer and other wild game. Norlake Scientific game lockers are standard Mini Rooms: prebuilt modular rooms with matched ceiling-mounted refrigeration.
What size game locker do I need?
Start with how much game you handle in a peak week, whether you store it on shelves or hang it, and the floor space you have. Footprints run from 4' × 6' to 8' × 14', with published capacity from 105 to 675 cubic feet.
What temperature should a deer cooler be?
USDA guidance is to keep cold meat at 40°F or below, since bacteria grow fastest between 40°F and 140°F. The cooler configuration is designed for +4°C (39°F). The freezer configuration is designed for −20°C (−4°F), below the 0°F USDA gives for frozen storage.
Can I hang deer in a game locker?
The standard Mini Room does not include a meat rail or hooks. If you plan to hang game, say so in your request and we will tell you what is possible for the size you pick. For quartered, boxed, or packaged game, shelving kits are available for every model.
Can a game locker go outside?
No. Mini Rooms are indoor models. Place it inside a building, and include that space's summer and winter temperatures in your request.
How do I get a price on a game locker?
Add one or more sizes to your request, set the height, temperature, and quantity, and send the form on this page. Your request arrives with each model listed, and we confirm price and ship date in the quote.
What warranty comes with a game locker?
Every Mini Room carries a 15-year panel warranty and an 18-month parts and labor warranty.
