ADJUST DOOR HINGES (IF NEEDED)
If the cabinet’s door appears out of alignment, this can be corrected with
3.
1.
minor adjustment on each door.
Because these hinges are infinitely adjustable, adjusting one hinge element
can sometimes cause the need for adjustments to other elements. But with
a few adjustments, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet door to
make sure that it hangs evenly.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust cabinet’s door hinges:
• By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT within the
frame. Make minor adjustments at both top and bottom hinges for
best results.
• By adjusting Screw(s) 2, the door will move UP or DOWN within
the frame (the top and bottom hinges must be adjusted the same
degree).
NOTE: Loosen Screws 2 one complete turn, raise or lower door, then hold
in position while tightening Screws 2 (on both hinges).
• By adjusting Screw 3 the entire door will move IN or OUT, opening
or closing the gap between the doorframe and cabinet. (This screw
rarely needs adjustment.)
REVERSE DOOR-SWING (IF DESIRED)
A
The Single Cabinets feature a reversible door assembly so that you can
open either from the left or the right.
To reverse the door’s orientation,
1. Remove the Door by actuating both of its quick-release hinges (A);
carefully place the detached Door aside.
2. Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove both Hinge Plates from
the interior wall of the cabinet by loosening the screws holding it in
place (B).
3. Install both Hinge Plates to the opposite interior wall at the
pre-determined locations.
4. Re-install the Door by connecting each Door Hinge to the relocated
Hinge Plates.
