REFRIGERATION
To determine whether a door is right- or left-handed,
face the cabinet, and if the hinges are mounted on
the right side, the door is right-handed. Likewise, if
the hinges are mounted on the left side, the door
is left-handed. Most hinges shown in this catalog
are reversible for right- or left-hand doors. Hinges
that cannot be reversed are shown as right or left
hinges. When ordering hinges specified for right-
or left-hand doors, please use the appropriate
item number.
Measuring Offsets on
Refrigerator Latches and Hinges
Surface Mount Latches and Hinges
A door’s offset is the distance from the face of the frame to the face of the door. The offset on a
surface mount latch or hinge is the same as the door offset. For measuring the offset on this type of
hardware, see the illustrations below.

Cam Lift Hinges
Cam lift hinges rise gently as the door is opened,
allowing the weight of the door to assist in its own
closing action.

Safety Latches
Safety latches are used primarily on walk-in and
step-in boxes. They can be opened from the inside
of the box with the inside release even if the door
is padlocked.

Edgemount hinge offsets in this catalog are
measured from the base of the hinge (where it
attaches to the cabinet) to the center of the screw
holes where the hinge attaches to the door. Since
some hardware manufacturers measure their offsets
differently, the offset stamped on the hinge may
differ from the offset shown in this catalog.
