Overview
K22 Soft Close Oven Door Hinge
Product Overview
The Atasan K22 Soft Close oven hinge has been developed for oven applications requiring enhanced user comfort, controlled motion characteristics, and support for heavier door constructions. Combining a compression spring balancing system with an integrated damping mechanism, the hinge provides soft opening and soft closing functionality while maintaining a compact short-body architecture.
Its design is particularly suitable for premium oven platforms where smooth door operation and refined user interaction are important product features.
Soft Open & Soft Close Technology
The K22 Soft Close incorporates an integrated damping system designed to manage door movement during both opening and closing operations.
During closing, the damper regulates door speed to support smooth deceleration and controlled movement. During opening, the system provides balanced assistance, contributing to a comfortable and predictable operating feel.
Motion Control Features
- -Soft closing functionality
- -Soft opening assistance
- -Controlled door movement
- -Reduced impact during operation
- -Low-noise performance
Compression Spring Balancing System
The K22 Soft Close utilizes a compression spring architecture designed to generate the balancing force required for heavier oven door applications.
This configuration enables high force generation within a compact installation space while supporting stable opening and closing characteristics throughout the operating range.
Compact Design for Heavy Door Applications
Its short-body design allows efficient integration into oven platforms where installation space is limited.
The compact structure supports heavier door constructions without requiring larger hinge dimensions, making it suitable for a wide range of residential oven platforms.
Benefits
- -Compact installation footprint
- -Suitable for heavier door applications
- -Efficient use of available space
- -Flexible appliance integration

Frequently Asked Questions
The K22 Soft-Close hinge is designed to support oven doors with a weight ranging from 2.5 to 10 kg. This range allows it to be used in various appliance designs, contributing to balanced and controlled motion for doors that fall within these specifications and application parameters.
This hinge system is engineered for use in environments with elevated temperatures. It is designed to operate in thermal conditions of up to 115°C, making it suitable for many oven applications where components are exposed to heat. This focus helps support consistent motion in thermally demanding environments.
The K22 hinge has been evaluated under laboratory conditions for durability. In life cycle testing, it was subjected to 20,000 opening and closing cycles as a comparative benchmark. This testing is conducted to assess its mechanical behavior and support performance expectations in typical appliance use scenarios.
The K22 Soft-Close hinge is designed with a maximum opening angle of 86 degrees. This defined angle provides sufficient access to the oven cavity for typical user interactions while helping to prevent the door from overextending or impacting adjacent cabinetry in many standard kitchen installations.
This hinge is engineered to provide a soft-close and soft-open experience. It incorporates a damping mechanism to manage the door's movement, aiming to reduce impact and noise during closing. This can contribute to a smoother, more controlled user interaction and enhance the perceived quality of the appliance.
