Anthony 15-14707-0001 OEM Top Surface Mount Hold Open Arm

Anthony 15-14707-0001 OEM Top Surface Mount Hold Open Arm

The Anthony International 15-14707-0001 Hold Open Arm is a genuine OEM top-surface-mount door component designed for compatible Anthony commercial refrigeration glass-door systems. Anthony identifies this component as a closed-end hold-open fork / top surface mount hold-open arm.

The hold-open arm allows the refrigeration door to remain in an open position when needed for stocking, product loading, cleaning, service, or other commercial operations. Proper hold-open operation helps prevent the door from swinging unexpectedly while still allowing the door to return to normal closing operation when released.

When inspection confirms the original hold-open arm is bent, damaged, excessively worn, or no longer engaging the detent hardware correctly, using the correct Anthony OEM 15-14707-0001 helps restore the manufacturer-specified door hold-open configuration.

What the Anthony Hold Open Arm Does

The 15-14707-0001 hold-open arm works with the door-mounted pivot standoff and frame-mounted detent hardware to hold the applicable refrigeration door open when the arm is intentionally engaged.

Proper hold-open operation helps support:

• Convenient product stocking
• Hands-free door access during loading
• Commercial refrigeration cleaning
• Door service and maintenance
• Reduced uncontrolled door movement
• Reliable daily glass-door operation

Arm Only – Not the Complete Hold Open Assembly

Anthony 15-14707-0001 is the hold-open arm / fork itself. It should not be confused with Anthony's complete hold-open assembly.

• 15-14707-0001: Hold Open Arm / Closed-End Fork
• 02-14649-0001: Complete Hold Open Assembly

The complete assembly may include additional pivot, detent, spacer, screw, and related installation hardware. Confirm exactly what is required before ordering.

Related Anthony Hold Open Components

Anthony's current parts documentation identifies related components including:

• 40-14616-0001: Hold Open Pivot Standoff on Door
• 40-14617-0001: Oversize Hold Open Pivot Standoff
• 40-15096-0001: Hold Open Detent Bolt / Frame Standoff
• 40-15097-0001: Hold Open Detent Spacer

• 40-15571-0001: Oversize Hold Open Spacer
• 02-14649-0001: Complete Hold Open Assembly

If the hold-open system is not working correctly, inspect the full assembly rather than assuming the arm alone is defective.

Anthony Door Applications

Anthony currently lists 15-14707-0001 in replacement-parts documentation for door families including the 401 Series and Infinity 90 Series. It is also widely documented as the top-surface-mount hold-open arm used on later Anthony commercial refrigeration doors.

Fitment Note: Anthony door hardware can vary by door series, production date, frame configuration, mounting hardware, and previous retrofit history. Verify OEM part number 15-14707-0001 and compare the original arm and mounting hardware before ordering.

Common Signs of a Worn or Damaged Hold Open Arm

• Door will not stay open when the arm is engaged
• Arm slips past the detent
• Fork or slot is visibly worn
• Arm is bent or distorted
• Pivot hole has excessive wear
• Arm binds during door movement
• Hold-open action becomes inconsistent
• Door releases unexpectedly
• Arm contacts surrounding door or frame components
• Mounting screw repeatedly loosens

These symptoms do not automatically confirm that the arm itself is the only failed component. Pivot standoffs, detent hardware, spacers, mounting screws, door alignment, and frame condition should also be inspected.

Inspect the Pivot Standoff

The hold-open arm pivots around the door-mounted standoff. Wear or damage at this point can prevent reliable operation even when the arm itself remains usable.

Inspect for:

• Loose pivot standoff
• Excessive wear
• Damaged threads
• Bent mounting point
• Oversized or damaged mounting hole
• Arm-to-pivot binding

Inspect the Frame Detent

The opposite end of the hold-open arm engages the frame-side detent arrangement. If the detent bolt or spacer is worn, loose, damaged, or incorrectly positioned, the arm may not stay engaged.

Inspect:

• Detent bolt condition
• Spacer condition
• Frame mounting threads
• Detent alignment
• Wear at the hold-open slot

Standard vs. Oversize Hardware

Anthony offers oversize hold-open hardware for doors where the original mounting locations have become worn or enlarged. Before ordering standard replacement hardware, inspect the mounting points to determine whether the door or frame has already been repaired with oversize components.

Oversize Anthony references include:

• 40-14617-0001: Oversize Pivot Standoff
• 40-15572-0001: Oversize Detent Bolt
• 40-15571-0001: Oversize Spacer

Common Door Problems That Are Not Hold Open Arm Failures

A door that does not operate correctly may have another door-system problem.

Inspect applicable:

• Torque rod / Torquemaster closing system
• Door alignment
• Hinge pin and receptacle
• Magnetic gasket
• Frame alignment
• Door sag
• Handle hardware

The hold-open arm is intended to hold the door open when engaged; it does not control normal closing force or correct door alignment.

Technician Checks Before Ordering

• OEM part number 15-14707-0001
• Anthony door series
• Original hold-open arm style
• Top surface mount configuration
• Pivot-standoff condition
• Detent-bolt condition
• Standard vs. oversize hardware
• Frame mounting condition
• Door alignment
• Complete assembly requirements

Do not select a hold-open arm by appearance alone. Anthony has used different hold-open assemblies and mounting arrangements across older and newer door systems.

Installation & Service Notes

Anthony service documentation instructs technicians to remove and replace the hold-open arm using the appropriate pivot and detent hardware while maintaining correct door and frame alignment.

Before removal, document:

• Arm orientation
• Pivot location
• Detent position
• Spacer arrangement
• Mounting screw locations
• Door-to-frame alignment

Compare the replacement Anthony 15-14707-0001 with the original hold-open arm before installation.

After installation, verify:

• Arm pivots freely
• Arm engages the detent correctly
• Door remains open when intentionally engaged
• Arm releases normally
• Door closes normally after release
• Hardware remains secure
• Arm does not interfere with the door or frame

Why Correct Anthony OEM Identification Matters

Anthony refrigeration door hold-open components can look similar while using different mounting locations, hardware, door generations, and frame configurations.

Using Anthony OEM part number 15-14707-0001 identifies the genuine top-surface-mount hold-open arm / closed-end fork and distinguishes it from the complete 02-14649-0001 assembly and older Anthony hold-open designs.
