• a door comprising a first door pane and a second door pane, the first door pane secured to the second door pane at a hinge point such that the first door pane is rotatable with respect to the second door pane between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first and second door panes define a space therebetween when the first door pane is in the closed position;
• a locking mechanism for locking the first door pane with respect to the second door pane in the closed position;
• a controller communicatively coupled to the door for controlling the locking mechanism, the controller comprising at least one processor, the at least one process configured to perform a plurality of operations, the plurality of operations comprising:
• receiving one or more safety conditions relating to the oven appliance, wherein the one or more safety conditions comprise a temperature condition of the oven appliance and a position condition of the multi-pane door assembly;
• determining whether the temperature condition and the position condition correspond to a predetermined temperature condition and a predetermined position condition, respectively, the position condition comprising one of an open position or a closed position;
• and
• unlocking the locking mechanism only when the temperature condition and the position condition correspond to the predetermined temperature condition and the predetermined position condition, respectively.
