Kason Replacements Parts: A Shopping Guide for Commercial Refrigeration & Foodservice Equipment
Need Kason replacement parts? Whether it’s a damaged latch on your walk-in cooler or a worn hinge on commercial refrigeration equipment, the replacement hardware needs to match the requirements of the part and door application.
Installing incompatible hardware can interfere with door alignment, closure, operation, or sealing. On refrigerated doors, poor closure can also contribute to warm air infiltration and increased refrigeration load. That’s why knowing how to shop for them is essential to avoiding these risks.
Learn what to check when shopping for Kason parts to keep your business running smoothly.
A Guide to Buying Kason Replacement Parts for Commercial Refrigeration & Foodservice Equipment
Kason (Kason Industries) manufactures hardware and accessories used on commercial walk-in and reach-in refrigeration, foodservice equipment, sliding door systems, industrial enclosures, and other applications.
Replacement parts are available through commercial hardware and parts suppliers. Depending on the component, compatibility can depend on the Kason hardware model or part number and other applicable specifications.
Replacement parts and components can include:
-
Door closers
-
Hinges
-
Inside releases
-
Latches
-
LED lighting
How to Identify the Kason Replacement Part You Need
Because Kason manufactures numerous hardware series and configurations for commercial equipment, replacement parts aren’t necessarily interchangeable. Their hinges, latches, closers, and other related components can vary by size, mounting style, and other specifications.
Before buying parts, identify your Kason hardware model or part number in these locations, when possible:
-
Walk-in Coolers: Data plate, sticker, or on the metal body of the latches or hinges.
-
Industrial Sifters: Silver data nameplate on the main base or housing unit.
-
Foodservice Equipment: Silver or black serial tag/sticker near the frame or access panel.
Depending on the Kason component, you may also need the following information to confirm its compatibility:
-
Kason model or part number
-
Required size, door thickness, or hardware offset
-
Right- or left-hand operation and mounting configuration
-
Material or finish, when applicable
Kason documentation may specify this information, depending on the component. Review the specifications that apply to the part you’re replacing before ordering.
Common Mistakes When Buying Kason Replacement Parts
Before ordering replacement Kason parts, avoid these common mistakes:
-
Assuming Kason parts are universal to all hardware models or series
-
Ordering hardware by appearance alone instead of checking the Kason model or part number
-
Ignoring specifications, such as size, offset, handedness, or mounting configuration
-
Mixing latch and inside-release components without confirming compatibility
-
Not providing enough information when replacement parts can’t be identified
For walk-in door latches and inside-release mechanisms, follow Kason’s compatibility and installation guidelines. These safety-related components work together to allow the door to be released from inside and shouldn’t be assumed interchangeable.

Kason recommends specifying the information applicable to the component when ordering replacement hardware.
Not necessarily. Kason manufactures various hardware models and series with different dimensions, offsets, mounting requirements, and applications. Verify the specifications for the component you’re replacing instead of ordering by appearance alone.
A Kason model number identifies the specific hardware product or series, such as a latch, hinge, or inside-release mechanism. This is different from the model number of a refrigerator, freezer, or walk-in equipment where the door hardware is installed. Kason organizes replacement hardware by individual product models and series.
