Kolpak 500000557 Refrigerator Handle kit with Lock 14-1/2"

A refrigeration door control assembly designed for commercial cold storage units, this handle kit provides a complete 14 1/2-inch door operation system with locking function, keys, signage, and an integrated safety release feature. It works as the main access point for opening and securing refrigerator doors while maintaining controlled entry and exit. The safety release mechanism allows internal exit during accidental lock-in situations, which is important for workplace safety in enclosed refrigeration spaces. Commonly installed in walk-in coolers, freezers, and other foodservice refrigeration systems, it is used in environments where frequent door access and secure closure are required. When an existing handle becomes damaged, loose, or difficult to operate, replacement can restore proper door movement, locking action, and safe access control in daily operation.

Equipment Compatibility:
Designed for use with compatible Kolpak equipment where proper door handling, secure locking, and safety release operation are required for installation and operation.
