Product Overview

OEM Part Details Manufacturer: Kason OEM Part Number: 11256V00004C MPN: 11256V00004C SKU: PD-780-537 Part Type: Flush offset reversible hinge Equipment Category: Commercial refrigeration equipment Product Overview The Kason 11256V00004C flush offset reversible hinge is a genuine OEM door hardware component for walk-in commercial refrigeration equipment. A hinge carries the door through its opening and closing movement while helping maintain proper door position at the cabinet opening. When the hinge is in good condition and correctly matched to the door assembly, it supports reliable door movement, latch engagement, and gasket contact around the opening. Door hardware deserves close attention because a worn, loose, damaged, or incorrectly selected hinge can contribute to door sag, rubbing, uneven closure, and difficulty maintaining alignment. Those conditions may affect how consistently the door closes against its gasket. This Kason hinge is identified by manufacturer part number 11256V00004C, giving commercial refrigeration service professionals a dependable reference when comparing the removed component before ordering. The flush offset and reversible configuration should also be compared carefully with the existing hinge and mounting arrangement.

Product Function

Product Function This Kason hinge provides the mechanical pivot point that allows a walk-in door to swing while remaining supported at the door opening. Its role is to help hold the door in its intended position so the door assembly can close, latch, and compress the gasket evenly. Proper hinge condition is important to day-to-day commercial refrigeration operation because door alignment affects closure reliability. The 11256V00004C manufacturer part number helps identify this genuine OEM hinge when replacing a damaged, worn, or incorrect door hardware component. Compare the original hinge configuration, mounting points, and door position before purchase.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement? Kason OEM part number 11256V00004C provides a clear manufacturer identification point for this flush offset reversible hinge. Matching the verified manufacturer part number with the removed component helps reduce wrong-part orders and supports confident selection of door hardware for commercial refrigeration service. Compare the original hinge, its mounting arrangement, and the door configuration along with the part number before ordering.

How This Part Works

How This Part Works A door hinge joins the door assembly to the cabinet-side mounting location and provides a controlled pivot as the door opens or closes. On a walk-in door, that pivot relationship helps keep the door positioned correctly relative to the latch, strike, and gasket sealing surface. As the door closes, hinge alignment influences whether the gasket meets the frame evenly and whether the latch engages without excessive force. The Kason 11256V00004C hinge is identified as a flush offset reversible design. Its physical arrangement should be compared with the removed hinge rather than selected by appearance alone. Wear at the hinge, fasteners, or related door hardware can allow movement that changes door alignment over time. Inspecting the full door assembly helps identify whether the hinge is the only component requiring attention.

Technician Service Tip

Technician Service Tip Before replacing a door hinge, inspect the removed component beside the replacement and compare the mounting-hole pattern, flush offset arrangement, reversible orientation, and overall door position. Also inspect the door gasket, latch, and hinge fasteners for wear or movement that may contribute to an alignment concern.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Door sag or a change in door position may indicate hinge wear, loose mounting hardware, or related door hardware concerns.
• A door that rubs the frame during operation should be inspected for hinge alignment and mounting movement.
• Uneven gasket compression around the door opening can indicate an alignment concern involving the hinge or related components.
• Difficulty latching the door may indicate that the hinge, latch, strike, or door position should be inspected.
• Visible wear, damage, corrosion, or looseness at the hinge area may indicate that replacement is needed.
• A door that requires unusual force to open or close can indicate hinge wear or a door alignment issue.
• Recurring changes in door alignment may indicate worn hinge hardware or movement at the mounting points.
• A door that does not close consistently against the gasket should be inspected for hinge condition, latch operation, and gasket condition.

Commercial Applications

Commercial Applications This Kason flush offset reversible hinge is identified for walk-in door hardware used with commercial refrigeration equipment. It is relevant to commercial refrigeration service work where a technician or maintenance team is addressing door movement, alignment, or worn mechanical hardware on a walk-in door assembly. Typical commercial settings can include restaurant kitchens, foodservice facilities, refrigerated storage areas, and service operations that maintain commercial refrigeration equipment. Equipment-specific fitment is not stated here, so the original component, equipment model and serial number, manufacturer part number, and mounting arrangement should be confirmed before ordering.

Before You Order

• Match Kason OEM part number 11256V00004C to the original component.
• Compare the removed hinge with the product image and confirm it is a flush offset reversible hinge.
• Compare the hinge mounting-hole pattern and mounting-point location with the existing door assembly.
• Confirm the hinge orientation and reversible configuration match the door installation.
• Inspect the original component for its manufacturer identification and part-number markings.
• Confirm the equipment model and serial number from the equipment data plate before purchase.
• Check whether hinge fasteners, pins, or related mounting hardware show wear or damage.
• Inspect door alignment, latch engagement, and gasket contact to determine whether related components also need attention.

Related Components

• Door gasket: Inspect the gasket for compression loss, damage, or uneven contact that may be associated with door alignment concerns.
• Hinge screws or pins: Check hinge fasteners and pivot hardware for looseness, wear, or damage that can affect door position.
• Door latch and strike: Inspect latch engagement and strike alignment because a shifted door can affect reliable latching.
• Door closer: Inspect the closer, where equipped, for smooth operation and correct closing action alongside hinge service.
