Product Overview

The Traulsen 358-13189-00 lock bolt is an OEM door-hardware component used with T41–T45 lock cylinders on verified commercial refrigeration equipment. As part of the door locking arrangement, the lock bolt supports secure door closure and helps the lock assembly perform its intended mechanical role. A properly operating lock assembly matters in busy foodservice environments because cabinet doors are opened frequently and must close, latch, and remain secured as expected during normal use. When a lock-related component shows wear, binds, is damaged, or no longer matches the original hardware, replacing the correct part can help restore dependable door operation. This Traulsen OEM part should be identified by manufacturer part number 358-13189-00 and compared carefully with the removed component before purchase. Because door hardware can vary by cabinet configuration and serial number, confirming the original part, lock-cylinder arrangement, mounting relationship, and equipment identification is the most reliable way to prevent a wrong order.

Product Function

This lock bolt serves a mechanical role within the Traulsen door lock arrangement associated with verified T41–T45 lock cylinders. It is intended to work with the related lock hardware so the door can be secured when the lock is operated. Its condition can affect how smoothly the locking hardware moves and whether the door-locking arrangement performs as expected. The lock bolt should be evaluated as part of the complete door assembly rather than as an isolated item. Door alignment, hinge condition, latch operation, and the condition of the associated lock cylinder can all influence how the hardware feels and functions. Match OEM number 358-13189-00 to the original component before ordering.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

A genuine Traulsen OEM part helps maintain clear part-number identification when servicing commercial refrigeration door hardware. Ordering 358-13189-00 by its manufacturer number gives technicians and facility teams a dependable reference for comparing the original lock bolt, associated lock-cylinder arrangement, and cabinet information. Careful OEM matching is especially valuable when similar-looking door hardware may differ in configuration or mounting relationship.

How This Part Works

The lock bolt works as part of a mechanical door-locking arrangement. When the associated lock hardware is operated, the bolt is involved in securing the door assembly in its intended closed position. Smooth movement depends on the condition and alignment of the related hardware, including the lock cylinder, door, hinges, and latch-side components where applicable. A door that is out of alignment or hardware that is worn, loose, damaged, or obstructed can place added strain on the locking arrangement. For that reason, service work should include a careful comparison of the removed lock bolt and an inspection of the surrounding door hardware. This part is identified as Traulsen OEM number 358-13189-00 for use with verified T41–T45 lock cylinders. Confirm cabinet identification and the original component before selecting the replacement.

Technician Service Tip

Before replacing the lock bolt, compare the removed component with OEM number 358-13189-00 and inspect the lock cylinder, hinge alignment, door position, and related latch hardware for wear or interference. Addressing a door-alignment concern can help prevent repeated strain on replacement locking components.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Difficulty locking or unlocking the cabinet door may indicate that the lock bolt or related door hardware should be inspected.
• A door that does not remain secured when locked can indicate wear, damage, or misalignment in the lock arrangement.
• Binding or rough movement during lock operation may indicate a component alignment concern.
• Visible damage, corrosion, deformation, or missing material on the original lock bolt indicates that replacement should be considered.
• A key that turns but does not secure the door may indicate that the lock cylinder and lock-bolt arrangement need evaluation.
• A door that requires unusual force to lock may indicate hinge, latch, or door-alignment concerns.
• Repeated loosening or movement of nearby door hardware can indicate that mounting and related components should be inspected.
• A cabinet door that shifts at the latch side may indicate door-hardware wear affecting lock operation.

Commercial Applications

This Traulsen lock bolt is intended for verified commercial refrigeration door-hardware service associated with T41–T45 lock cylinders. It may be relevant to cabinet service performed in restaurants, institutional kitchens, commercial cold-storage areas, and other foodservice locations that rely on secure, frequently used refrigerated equipment doors. The correct application must be confirmed from the original component, equipment identification, serial number, and lock-cylinder arrangement. Do not rely on appearance alone when ordering door hardware, since similar components can have different mechanical relationships within the door assembly.

Before You Order

• Match Traulsen OEM number 358-13189-00 to the original component.
• Confirm that the part is a lock bolt, not another door-hardware item.
• Verify the equipment identification and serial number before purchase.
• Confirm the original lock-cylinder arrangement is identified for T41–T45 lock cylinders.
• Compare the removed component with available product imagery.
• Inspect the original component for its mechanical relationship to the lock cylinder and door hardware.
• Check door alignment and hinge condition, as misalignment can affect lock operation.
• Inspect related latch-side hardware for wear, looseness, or interference.
• Confirm that the replacement is appropriate for the cabinet door configuration before installation.

Related Components

• Lock cylinder: Inspect the associated lock cylinder because its operation directly affects how the lock bolt is engaged.
• Door hinges: Check hinges for wear or alignment concerns that can place the door out of position at the locking point.
• Door latch hardware: Inspect latch-side hardware for damage or interference that may affect secure door closure.
• Door closer: Evaluate the door closer, where present, because incomplete or uneven door closing can affect lock alignment.
