Important: Carefully choose which hole you need to drill.

Check that the holes and hinge plates 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.

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 screw .
