Step 5- Attach Door Facia
Slide the door frame towards the middle. Orient the door fascia C3 as shown with the threaded holes
behind the left side. Position the door fascia C3 into the door frame and shift it to the right while holding the
left edge of the door frame to prevent it from sliding. Secure the left side of the door fascia to the door frame
with 2 thumb screws H3 going into the holes on the back of the door frame and into the threaded holes on
the back of the door fascia C3.

Caution: Before sliding the door, check to make sure the door facia is not rubbing on either the top or bot-
tom edge of the cabinet. If it is, proceed to step 6. If your door is level and the gaps on the top and bot­tom are even, proceed to step 7.

Step 6 - Adjust sliding door (if needed)

If your sliding door is not hanging evenly, or rubs at the top or bottom, it can be adjusted up or down by turning
one (or both) adjustment wheels inside the cup (located behind each upper corner of the door). To access
the adjustment wheel behind the right side of the door, remove the door facia by following step 5 in reverse.
To move the door frame up turn the wheel towards the left. To move the door frame down, turn the wheel
towards the right. Lifting the door frame up with your other hand allows the adjustment wheel to turn more
freely.

Step 7 - Door Stops

Your Margo Console sliding door has 2 green door stops located at each end of the upper aluminum track.
The door stops are preset to allow the door to stop in the correct position. If your door(s) do not stop at the
preset position indicated below, it is likely they may have moved during transit and handling. You will need
to reposition and tighten the door stop using Small Hex Wrench T2. The end of the door stops should be
exactly 19mm (3/4") away from the end of the track.
