Schmick SK118 Bar Fridge Specs & Dimensions Guide

By KING CAVE· Last updated 17 July 2026 · 4 min read

If you're after a compact upright bar fridge for a home bar, granny flat, or small commercial nook, the Schmick SK118 range is worth a close look. Every model in the family shares the same 118 litre capacity and footprint, so the choice comes down to finish and door swing rather than size. Below is the full spec breakdown for every SK118 variant, plus fitting and ventilation guidance so you can plan the install with confidence.

Schmick SK118 Range Overview

All four SK118 models are single-door, heated-glass upright fridges rated for indoor and alfresco use. They share identical dimensions, capacity, noise output, power draw, and warranty — the only differences are cabinet colour (stainless steel or black) and door hinge side (left or right).

Detailed Model Breakdown

SK118R-SS: Stainless Steel, Right Hinge

The SK118R-SS is a 118 litre stainless steel upright with a heated glass door hinged on the right, ideal for opening left-to-right access into a bar layout. It draws 2.65 kWh over 24 hours, carries a 7.0 star energy rating, and works out to roughly $248.00 a year to run. Rated for both indoor and outdoor placement, it's lockable and backed by a 2 year warranty.

SK118L-SS: Stainless Steel, Left Hinge

The SK118L-SS matches the SK118R-SS on every spec — 118 litres, stainless finish, heated glass door, 2.65 kWh/24h, 7.0 star rating, ~$248.00/yr running cost, 2 year warranty — but hinges on the left. Choose this variant when your bar layout calls for the door to swing open right-to-left.

SK118L-B: Black, Left Hinge

The SK118L-B brings the same 118 litre capacity and heated glass door in a black cabinet finish, hinged on the left. It's lockable, rated for indoor and alfresco use, and shares the family's 2.65 kWh/24h power draw and 2 year warranty.

SK118R-B: Black, Right Hinge

The SK118R-B rounds out the range — black finish, heated glass door, right hinge, and the same 118 litre capacity, 2.65 kWh/24h power draw, 7.0 star energy rating, and 2 year warranty as the rest of the SK118 family.

Fitting Guide: Getting the Perfect Install

Because every SK118 model shares the same external dimensions, planning the space is straightforward.

Dimensions and Footprint

All SK118 units measure 555mm wide, 500mm deep, and 875mm high, with a 118 litre capacity. As a freestanding fridge, it doesn't require a built-in cavity — just a flat, level spot with enough clearance for the door to swing fully open.

Ventilation

Being freestanding units, SK118 fridges need clear airflow around the cabinet to run efficiently. Allow at least 50mm clearance at the rear for ventilation, as specified for this range.

Hinge Side and Door Swing

Each SK118 model is offered in a single, fixed hinge configuration — left or right — rather than a reversible door. Pick the hinge side that matches how you want the door to swing relative to your bar layout before ordering, since the door isn't field-reversible on this range.

Indoor and Outdoor Use

All SK118 models are rated for both indoor and outdoor (alfresco) locations, so the range suits anything from an indoor home bar to a covered outdoor entertaining area.

Choosing the Right SK118 for Your Space

All four variants are lockable, heated-glass, freestanding units rated for indoor and outdoor use, backed by a 2 year warranty.
