Abstract: A mechanism for use with a removable hinged oven door is provided and includes a hinge bracket pivotally secured to the oven housing. A channel frame is secured within the oven door and is adapted to receive the hinge bracket for rendering the door pivotally cooperative with the hinge bracket for movement between a door closed position and a door open position. A lever is pivotally secured to the hinge bracket for movement between first and second positions. In the first position the lever engages the channel frame to prevent removal of the door from the hinge bracket. In the second position the lever disengages from the channel frame to permit removal of the door from the hinge bracket and further maintains the hinge bracket in a predetermined position with respect to the oven structure when the door is removed from the hinge bracket.
