Stay fastener Tefcold SpareParts 12425

A stay fastener holds refrigerator, freezer or cupboard doors open at the angle the kitchen needs. The device clips onto the existing stay rod and locks it in place, preventing the door from swinging shut or drifting too far. Without a fastener, a door left ajar can block a busy aisle, let cold air escape or let warm air enter, raising energy use and shortening the life of stored food.

The stay fastener is a simple mechanical catch. It has no moving parts to wear out and no adjustment to set. The operator lifts the door to the desired angle, presses the fastener onto the stay rod and releases it. The fastener grips the rod with spring tension, holding the door steady until the operator lifts it again to disengage the catch. No tools are needed for fitting or removal.

Fitting is done by sliding the fastener along the stay rod until it reaches the position that keeps the door at the chosen angle. The fastener remains in place when the door is closed, ready for the next use. It adds no weight that could strain hinges or stays, and it does not alter the door's closing action when the fastener is not engaged.

The fastener is made of corrosion-resistant material suitable for the temperature and humidity of professional kitchens and refrigeration units. It is designed to fit standard stay rods found on Tefcold refrigeration and catering equipment, ensuring secure positioning without modification to the door or frame.

Cleaning requires only wiping with a damp cloth to remove grease or dust. No lubrication or periodic adjustment is needed, as the fastener relies on spring tension rather than moving parts.

This stay fastener is listed in the Tefcold SpareParts catalogue under door hardware for refrigeration and catering units.
