Product Overview

OEM Part Details Manufacturer: PartsDirectcom OEM Number: 11345000004 MPN: 11345000004 SKU: PD-780-673 Part Type: Hinge Equipment Category: Commercial refrigeration equipment Product Overview PartsDirectcom OEM 11345000004 is a hinge used as door hardware on commercial refrigeration equipment. A hinge carries the door through its opening and closing movement while helping the door remain positioned correctly at the cabinet opening. Although it is a mechanical component, its condition can affect daily access, door alignment, latch engagement, and the ability of the door assembly to close consistently. Door hardware receives repeated use in restaurant kitchens, foodservice facilities, and commercial equipment service environments. Wear, looseness, physical damage, or a mismatched replacement hinge can change the way a door sits against the cabinet. For that reason, the original component and its mounting arrangement deserve close attention before a replacement is selected. This PartsDirectcom hinge is identified by OEM number 11345000004, giving technicians and purchasing teams a reliable reference when replacing the same manufacturer-numbered component. Careful part identification helps reduce avoidable ordering errors and supports proper door hardware service.

Product Function

This hinge provides the mechanical pivot point that allows a commercial refrigeration door to move between open and closed positions. Its role is to support controlled door movement and help maintain the door's relationship to the cabinet opening, latch, and gasket. When the hinge arrangement is secure and aligned, the door assembly can operate more predictably during routine use. A hinge should be considered alongside the rest of the door hardware rather than as an isolated item. The mounting points, hardware condition, door position, and gasket contact can all influence closure. OEM number 11345000004 identifies this PartsDirectcom hinge for comparison with the removed component before ordering.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

A genuine OEM part identified by manufacturer number 11345000004 provides a clear reference for replacing the original hinge. Matching the manufacturer, OEM number, and part type helps distinguish this hinge from visually similar door hardware that may use a different mounting arrangement or door position. That identification is especially useful when a technician is replacing a worn or damaged component and wants to keep the door hardware selection tied to the original manufacturer-numbered part.

How This Part Works

The hinge creates a fixed mechanical connection between the door assembly and its supporting structure. As the door is opened, the hinge allows the door to rotate through its intended path. As the door closes, the hinge position influences how the door approaches the cabinet opening, latch area, and gasket contact surface. Because the hinge is part of a connected door assembly, changes in its condition can be reflected in door movement. A loose mounting point, worn hinge area, damaged hardware, or shifted door position may allow the door to sag, bind, or close unevenly. The hinge itself does not control refrigeration operation, but door hardware condition can matter to reliable day-to-day cabinet access and closure. Compare OEM number 11345000004 and the original hinge arrangement to confirm the correct replacement component.

Technician Service Tip

Before replacing door hardware, support the door as appropriate and inspect the removed hinge, mounting points, hinge screws or pins, latch engagement, and gasket contact. Comparing the original component with OEM number 11345000004 can help identify differences in mounting layout or door orientation before installation.

Common Failure Symptoms

• A door that drops slightly when opened or closed may indicate hinge wear or loose mounting hardware.
• Uneven spacing around the door opening can indicate that the hinge area should be inspected.
• A door that rubs, binds, or feels difficult to move may indicate a worn, damaged, or misaligned hinge arrangement.
• The latch failing to line up consistently may indicate that door position and hinge mounting need evaluation.
• Visible looseness at the hinge mounting points can indicate that the hinge and related hardware should be inspected.
• A door that does not sit evenly against the cabinet opening may indicate a door hardware alignment concern.
• Unusual movement, wobble, or shifting during door operation can indicate wear in the hinge area.
• Gasket contact that appears uneven around the door can indicate that hinge position, door alignment, and the gasket should be inspected.

Commercial Applications

This PartsDirectcom hinge is identified for use as door hardware within the commercial refrigeration equipment category. Door hardware service is common in restaurant kitchens, foodservice maintenance programs, commercial refrigeration repair, and facilities where equipment doors are opened throughout the day. The verified information identifies the component as a hinge and does not establish specific equipment fitment. Use the OEM number, original component, equipment data plate, and door hardware layout to determine whether this part is appropriate for the equipment being serviced.

Before You Order

• Match OEM number 11345000004 to the original component or approved equipment documentation.
• Confirm the part is a hinge intended for the door hardware position being serviced.
• Compare the removed hinge with the product image and review its overall shape.
• Check the mounting-hole arrangement and mounting points before ordering.
• Inspect whether the original hinge shows a specific door orientation or placement.
• Compare the relationship of the hinge to the door edge and cabinet-side mounting area.
• Review the equipment data plate and serial number when fitment documentation is available.
• Inspect hinge screws or pins, the door latch, door closer, and gasket condition for related wear or alignment concerns.

Related Components

• Door gasket: Inspect gasket contact and condition because uneven door alignment can affect how the gasket meets the cabinet opening.
• Hinge screws or pins: Check related fastening hardware for looseness, wear, or damage that may affect hinge stability.
• Door latch: Evaluate latch engagement because a shifted door position can change how the latch meets its strike area.
• Door closer: Inspect the closer where present, since door closing behavior can be influenced by both hinge condition and related closing hardware.
