SNAP-IN GASKET SYSTEM FOR REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER DOORS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A gasket assembly for refrigerator or freezer doors includes a retainer and a flexible gasket. The retainer is mounted along the periphery of the door by screws which extend through the retainer, through the periphery of a door liner and into the door shell. Therefore, the mounting of the retainer also mounts the liner on the door. The retainer cooperates with the door to provide an outwardly open channel and provides an oppositely extending shoulder. The retainer is mounted on the door prior to the installation of the gasket, so full access is provided, permitting automated assembly. After the retainer is mounted, the gasket is installed by positioning an inwardly extending projection within the outwardly open channel and snapping a hooklike projection over the shoulder extending along the inside of the retainer. The gasket provides a magnetic cavity contain- ing a strip magnet and supported by flexible walls. A flap along the interior of the gasket engages the liner.
