Step 20

Drill a handle hole in each door

Important: Please follow these instructions carefully.

Lay the 2 doors down onto a smooth surface.

Check that the hinges and holes are in the same place as the diagrams.

Note: We recommend the use of a small piece of waste wood, placed behind the hole while drilling, to reduce the possibility of any breakout.

Using the pilot hole in the rear face of the door, drill through the hole indicated opposite, using a 2.5mm diameter drill.

Turn the door over and open out the 2.5mm hole that you have just drilled by drilling back through it with a 5mm drill.

IMPORTANT

Carefully choose which hole

you need to drill in each door

Step 21

Fit doors and handles

Note: The easiest way to attach each door is to fit the top hinge first, then align and fit the other hinges.

a: Push the hinge

onto the front part of the hinge plate . The recess at the bottom of screw B goes into the slot in the hinge plate.

b: Keep the hinge

FLAT against the hinge plate as you slide it across as far as it will go. Tighten screw A.

c: The hinge must be

flat against the hinge plate prior to any adjustment.

d: The hinge must

NOT be AT AN ANGLE to the hinge plate when assembled. This would indicate that the recess at the bottom of screw B had not located in the slot in the hinge plate and the hinge would not be secure. Remove the hinge from the hinge plate and then re-assemble being careful to follow instructions a-c.

e: Attach a handle to

each door using screws .

Step 24

Attach bracket to top

To prevent possible overbalancing, we recommend that this unit is secured to a suitable wall by use of the bracket fitted to the top of the unit.

Fixings are not supplied, as they will need to suit the wall type and the length of screw will depend on the distance from the back of the unit to the wall.

Fix the bracket loosely onto the top of the unit using screw and mark the wall for the wall fixing.

Swivel the bracket away from the wall and drill a hole in the wall using a suitable drill bit and fit your wall fixing.

Swivel the bracket back and fix the bracket to the wall, then tighten screw .

Note: Take care when drilling the wall that you do not drill into any pipes, wires etc. If in doubt, consult an expert.

Assembly is complete

Warning: The unit is heavy. Lift with care.
