Product Overview

OEM Part Details Manufacturer: Kason OEM Part Number: 11245000028 MPN: 11245000028 SKU: PD-780-335 Part Type: Flush Offset Reversible Hinge OEM Status: VERIFIED Product Overview The Kason 11245000028 flush offset reversible hinge is a door-hardware component used with commercial refrigeration equipment door assemblies. Its job is to support the door at the hinge side while allowing the door to move through its normal opening and closing travel. Proper hinge condition matters because door alignment affects latch engagement, gasket compression, and the day-to-day reliability of the door assembly. A worn, loose, damaged, or incorrectly selected hinge can contribute to a door that sags, binds, rubs, or does not close evenly. Those conditions can place added strain on related door hardware and make routine equipment service more difficult. This Kason OEM hinge provides a reliable identification point for technicians and purchasers who need to replace the original component with manufacturer part number 11245000028. The flush offset reversible configuration should be compared carefully with the removed hinge before ordering. Review the original component, mounting locations, door position, and hinge orientation so the replacement is suited to the existing door assembly. Accurate part identification helps reduce wrong-part orders and supports a more straightforward commercial equipment service repair.

Product Function

Product Function This Kason hinge provides a mechanical pivot and support point for a commercial refrigeration door. Mounted at the door and frame connection, it carries the door through repeated opening and closing cycles while helping the door remain positioned correctly relative to the latch and gasket. The flush offset arrangement is part of the physical door-hardware layout, so matching the original configuration is important. When the hinge is secure and operating correctly, the door can close in a more controlled path and place the gasket against the cabinet opening more evenly. The hinge does not regulate refrigeration temperature directly, but poor door alignment can affect door closure and sealing performance. Replacing a visibly worn or damaged hinge may help restore proper door movement after the surrounding hardware has also been inspected.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement? Kason OEM part number 11245000028 gives purchasers a clear manufacturer part-number reference when replacing the original flush offset reversible hinge. Matching the verified OEM number helps distinguish this hinge from visually similar door hardware that may have different mounting arrangements, offsets, or operating orientation. Using the manufacturer identification along with a direct comparison of the removed component supports more confident ordering and helps avoid delays caused by selecting the wrong hinge configuration.

How This Part Works

How This Part Works A door hinge creates the pivoting connection between the door and its supporting structure. As the door opens, the hinge allows controlled rotation around its pivot point. As it closes, the hinge helps guide the door back toward its intended position so the latch, gasket, and surrounding door hardware can work together. On a commercial refrigeration door, hinge wear or movement can gradually change door position. A door may sit lower, develop an uneven gap, contact an adjacent surface, or require extra force to latch. The hinge should therefore be considered as part of the complete door assembly rather than as an isolated item. Its mounting condition, fasteners, companion hinge, latch, closer, and gasket all influence how the door operates. The flush offset reversible design must match the existing arrangement to maintain the intended door movement and alignment.

Technician Service Tip

Technician Service Tip Before removing the original hinge, inspect the door position, mounting locations, hinge wear, and condition of the companion door hardware. Compare the removed component directly to Kason part number 11245000028, including its flush offset configuration and reversible orientation. Support the door appropriately during service and inspect the gasket and latch after installation for even closure.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Common Failure Symptoms A door that appears to sag at the latch side may indicate hinge wear or loose mounting hardware.
• Uneven spacing around the door perimeter can indicate that the hinge assembly should be inspected.
• A door that rubs against the frame or adjacent hardware may indicate alignment movement at the hinge points.
• Extra effort needed to open or close the door can indicate binding, wear, or damage in the door-hardware assembly.
• A latch that does not engage consistently may indicate that door alignment and hinge condition should be inspected.
• An unevenly compressed door gasket can indicate that the door is not closing in its intended position.
• Visible looseness, corrosion, cracking, or damage around the hinge can indicate a need for service evaluation.
• A door that does not rest evenly when closed may indicate wear in the hinge or related mounting points.
• Repeated adjustment of the latch or closer may indicate that the hinge assembly and door alignment should be inspected.

Commercial Applications

Commercial Applications This Kason flush offset reversible hinge is identified for commercial refrigeration equipment door hardware service. It is relevant to technicians and maintenance teams responsible for refrigerated door assemblies where secure operation, alignment, and dependable closure are important. Commercial refrigeration service environments may include restaurant kitchens, foodservice facilities, institutional kitchens, and equipment repair operations using walk-in cooler or freezer door assemblies when the original component matches the verified Kason part number. Application should be confirmed from the original hinge, equipment data plate, and applicable service documentation before purchase. The verified OEM number identifies the component, but it does not establish fitment for every Kason-equipped door assembly.

Before You Order

• Before You Order Match Kason OEM part number 11245000028 to the original component.
• Compare the removed hinge with the product title: flush offset reversible hinge.
• Review the hinge mounting-hole locations and mounting-point arrangement.
• Confirm the hinge position on the door assembly and the required orientation.
• Compare the physical offset and overall configuration of the original component.
• Inspect the companion hinge for wear, looseness, or damage that could affect alignment.
• Review the equipment data plate, serial number, and applicable service documentation.
• Inspect the door gasket, latch, closer, and mounting hardware before completing the repair.
• Confirm that the door is supported safely during hinge service.

Related Components

• Related Components Door gasket: Inspect the gasket for uneven compression, tears, hardening, or gaps that may remain after door alignment is addressed.
• Companion hinge: Check the opposite or additional hinge for wear or movement, since one worn hinge can affect the full door assembly.
• Hinge screws and mounting points: Inspect fasteners and mounting surfaces for looseness, damage, or wear that could prevent secure hinge positioning.
• Door latch: Review latch engagement after hinge service because door position affects how the latch meets its strike.
• Door closer: Inspect the closer when fitted, as its operation can influence closing force and reveal remaining alignment concerns.
