The purpose of walk-in cooler hinges:
The purpose of walk-in cooler hinges is to securely hold the door, ensure it closes properly to maintain a consistent temperature, and provide smooth, heavy-duty operation. They prevent cold air from escaping, which enhances energy efficiency, prolongs the life of the compressor, and prevents food spoilage. High-quality hinges often have features like self-closing and lift off cam systems to overcome air resistance and prevent the door from dragging on the floor.
Popular Kason Hinge Series
Kason 1245 Series: Reversible Cam-Rise Hinge with Polished Chrome Finish with offset from Flush, to 2 inches
The 1245 series is a very common option, this hinge is reversible for right or left-hand doors and features self-lubricating nylon cams for smooth, self-closing operation. It holds the door open beyond 130 degrees and is available in various offsets (the distance between the door's outer surface and the frame's outer surface). It is made from high-pressure die-cast zinc with a polished chrome finish and is suitable for severe environmental applications.
Kason 1248 Series Spring assisted
This series provides an added closing force with a spring-assisted cam-lift action. It is also reversible and features a built-in dwell point that holds the door open past 90 degrees.
Superior Sealing:
Reduced Gasket Wear: The lifting action prevents the door gasket from dragging across the floor or frame as the door swings, significantly reducing wear and tear.
Self-Closing and Hold-Open Features: Most Kason cam hinges are self-closing due to gravity, and many also have a "dwell" point (e.g., beyond 130 degrees) where the door stays open for convenience during loading or unloading.
Handing: While some industrial cam-lift hinges can be handed (left- or right-specific) and require specific installation, many Kason commercial walk-in cooler hinges are reversible, allowing for use on either right- or left-hand doors simply by manual adjustment.
