AirLock 1000 Door and Window Seal for Portable Air Conditioners
AirLock 1000 is an energy-efficient door and window seal for portable air conditioners. It helps prevent warm air from flowing back into the room, improves cooling efficiency, and is particularly well-suited for balcony doors, patio doors, and large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Product Description
When using a portable air conditioner, warm air is usually vented outside through an open window or door. Without a seal, warm outside air can enter the room at the same time, which reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy consumption.
AirLock 1000 solves this problem quickly and easily. The seal is installed between the window or door and the frame, and the exhaust hose is routed through an opening with a special lock. This helps keep cool air inside and warm air outside.
The AirLock 1000 is suitable for both single- and dual-hose portable air conditioners, and thanks to its large diameter, it is the ideal solution for large windows, balcony doors, and patio doors.

Why use a window seal with a portable air conditioner?
Without a seal, a portable air conditioner constantly draws some of the hot outside air back into the room. This means:
- higher energy consumption
- slower cooling
- higher noise levels due to the device’s heavier load
AirLock 1000 helps cool a room faster and makes a portable air conditioner work more efficiently.

Whether you’re dealing with large or small windows or doors, with the AirLock 100 and AirLock 1000, Trotec has a window seal in its lineup to fit every frame —and installing AirLock is always worth it. Because popular monoblock air conditioners are so easy to use, affordable, and powerful, they have just one drawback: an exhaust air hose for single-hose units, or even two hoses for more efficient recirculation units. Understandably, 99% of all users simply attach the hoses to the frames of open windows or doors, rather than creating complicated wall penetrations. However, this allows not only warm air to flow back into the room—which significantly reduces cooling capacity and energy efficiency—but also dust, dirt, and insects to enter the rooms unimpeded. Furthermore, a sudden downpour can have serious consequences.
With AirLock 1000, you can solve all these problems at once and enjoy other benefits as well:
The AirLock 1000 exhaust air window seal can be installed in just a few simple steps between a door or window and its frame, and it features two adjustable zipper openings, into which the end piece of the exhaust hose can be precisely fitted. If only one opening is needed, the other zipper opening simply remains hidden and is sealed airtight. And when you leave the house, you can easily close the doors or windows without having to remove the AirLock first.
This technology makes the AirLock 1000 fabric seal extremely versatile: thanks to two separate zipper openings, you can use the AirLock 1000 with both single-hose and dual-hose HVAC systems. Each of these two openings can be smoothly and precisely adjusted with a zipper to fit all hose diameters and nozzle sizes. This prevents warm outside air from flowing back into the room, thereby reducing your air conditioner’s energy consumption. It also keeps dirt and insects reliably out.
