Walk-In Door Latch Kit and Release Options

Walk-In Door Latch Kit and Release Options

The selector includes latch configurations and separate release parts. Match both the door offset and, for a release rod, the door thickness. Choose the size or configuration that matches the original assembly.

Function and Purpose

A latch engages its mating strike to hold the door closed. Correct engagement depends on the latch position, strike alignment and door offset; a latch cannot compensate for a door hanging out of square.

Listed Configuration

The available choices are Flush to 3/8"; 3/4" to 1-5/8"; 1-5/8" to 2-1/2"; 4" Inside Push Rod Release; 4" Door Stainless Steel Push Rod. Confirm the selected configuration and what it includes before ordering.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Latch fails to catch the strike.
• Excessive play or binding in the handle mechanism.
• Door releases unexpectedly or needs unusual force to latch.

Inspect the strike, door alignment and inside release with the latch. Confirm the selected option before ordering because a release rod may be listed separately from the latch.

Commercial Applications

For commercial cooler and freezer door closure where the original component, selected configuration and equipment parts information agree. Restaurant maintenance teams and refrigeration service technicians should confirm the assembly details before choosing a replacement.

Before You Order

• Use the equipment model, serial number and original part markings to confirm the replacement.
• Compare door-to-frame offset and strike position with the removed component.
• Compare mounting-hole layout and operating direction with the removed component.
• Compare inside-release design and door thickness where a push rod is fitted with the removed component.
• Select the required option: Flush to 3/8"; 3/4" to 1-5/8"; 1-5/8" to 2-1/2"; 4" Inside Push Rod Release; 4" Door Stainless Steel Push Rod.
• Send clear part photos and the matching measurements to PartsDirectOnline if the fit is uncertain.
