Fit doors and handles

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

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.

e: Attach a handle to

each door and using screws .
