Product Overview

Keeping a commercial refrigeration door open at the appropriate point can make loading, cleaning, and service access more manageable. Anthony OEM 02-14649-0001 is a hold open assembly with hardware used in a door arrangement where the identified hold-open function is required. As mechanical door hardware, it supports controlled door positioning and should be selected as the correct component for the existing Anthony door assembly. Door operation depends on more than one piece of hardware. Hinges carry the door, a latch and closer influence closing movement, and the frame and sealing surfaces affect how the door meets the opening. The hold open assembly has its own role within that group of parts: helping the applicable door remain open when positioned for that purpose. Damage, wear, missing hardware, or an incorrect replacement can affect how the door behaves during normal use. This item is identified by Anthony OEM part number 02-14649-0001 and is supplied as a hold open assembly with hardware. Matching the manufacturer part number, reviewing the original component, and comparing the mounting arrangement are practical ways to reduce an incorrect hardware order. Equipment model and serial information should also be reviewed before purchase because an equipment-specific application list is not supplied.

Product Function

The Anthony 02-14649-0001 hold open assembly supports the hold-open function of an applicable commercial refrigeration door arrangement. Its purpose is mechanical door positioning; it is not a hinge, latch, closer, frame component, or door seal. When the applicable door reaches the position supported by this hardware, the assembly helps maintain that open position for access. Correct identification matters because surrounding door hardware also affects movement. A door with loose hinges, worn mounting points, latch concerns, or alignment issues may not move as expected even when the hold open assembly is present. Match the Anthony OEM number to the original component and assess the related door hardware when determining the needed service part.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

Genuine Anthony OEM part number 02-14649-0001 provides a clear manufacturer part-number reference for this hold open assembly with hardware. Using the verified number helps distinguish this component from visually similar door hardware that may use a different mounting arrangement or serve a different door function. For commercial refrigeration service work, matching the Anthony number to the original component supports accurate parts identification and helps reduce the risk of ordering hardware that is not appropriate for the equipment.

How This Part Works

Within the applicable door assembly, hold-open hardware works through a mechanical relationship with the door and its mounting arrangement. As the door is moved through its normal travel, the assembly is intended to support an open position. Moving the door again releases that supported position so the rest of the door hardware can govern subsequent movement. Its operation is influenced by the condition and alignment of connected components. Hinge wear can change the door's travel path, loose fasteners can alter the mounting position, and latch or closer concerns can affect how the door moves and returns toward the frame. For that reason, a hold-open concern should be evaluated as part of the complete door arrangement rather than as an isolated issue. This Anthony component is mechanical hardware for the identified door hold-open purpose. It does not replace door sealing material or address unrelated refrigeration operation concerns. Comparing the original 02-14649-0001 assembly and its mounting arrangement helps establish whether this is the appropriate replacement.

Technician Service Tip

Before replacing door hardware, compare the removed assembly with Anthony OEM 02-14649-0001 and inspect the door mounting points for looseness, damage, or misalignment. Check hinge condition and door movement as well, since connected hardware concerns can affect the hold-open function.

Common Failure Symptoms

• A door that will not remain in its intended open position may indicate wear or damage in the hold open assembly or related door hardware.
• Door movement that changes near the supported open position can indicate that the assembly and mounting arrangement should be inspected.
• Bent, cracked, worn, or missing pieces on the original hold-open hardware may indicate a need for service attention.
• Loose fasteners or damaged mounting points can affect the position and operation of the hold open assembly.
• A door that sags or travels unevenly may indicate hinge or alignment concerns that should be reviewed with the hold-open hardware.
• Binding or rubbing during door travel can indicate mechanical interference, alignment concerns, or damage to connected door components.
• A door that moves away from its supported open position unexpectedly may indicate a hold-open hardware concern.
• Changes in how the door opens, rests, or closes can indicate that the hinges, latch, closer, and hold open assembly should be inspected together.

Commercial Applications

This Anthony hold open assembly with hardware is identified for commercial refrigeration door service. It may be relevant to foodservice equipment maintenance personnel and refrigeration service providers working on door assemblies where the Anthony OEM number and original hardware confirm the required part. Commercial doors are routinely opened for product access, cleaning, stocking, and equipment service, making correct mechanical door hardware important to daily operation. Anthony is associated with display-door and merchandising refrigeration equipment, but equipment-specific fitment is not supplied for this item. Confirm the equipment model and serial information, compare the original component, and review the mounting arrangement before ordering. That comparison helps distinguish a hold open assembly from related door parts such as hinges, latches, closers, and sealing components.

Before You Order

• Match Anthony OEM part number 02-14649-0001 with the original component and available equipment documentation.
• Confirm that the required component is a hold open assembly with hardware rather than a hinge, latch, closer, or door sealing component.
• Compare the original hardware's shape, visible features, and mounting arrangement with the product image.
• Review the equipment model and serial number from the equipment data plate.
• Inspect mounting locations for loose fasteners, damage, wear, or missing hardware.
• Check hinge condition and door alignment because they can affect the movement of hold-open hardware.
• Observe the door's travel to identify whether the concern is associated with the hold-open function or another door component.
• Confirm the original part marking or documentation identifies Anthony number 02-14649-0001 when available.
• Review the latch and closer condition if the door does not move or return toward the frame as expected.

Related Components

• Door hinges should be inspected because hinge wear or loose hinge mounting can change door alignment and affect the operation of hold-open hardware.
• Door latch hardware should be checked because latch condition influences how the door secures after it leaves the supported open position.
• Door closer hardware should be evaluated when applicable, since the closer and hold open assembly may both influence door travel and return movement.
• Door frame and mounting points should be examined for damage, looseness, or misalignment that could prevent the hardware from operating correctly.
• Door sealing surfaces should be inspected after door hardware service because poor alignment can affect how the door meets the frame.
