attach each door 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

Tighten screw A.
c: The hinge must be
flat against the hinge
plate prior to any
adjustment.

NOT be AT AN ANGLE
to the hinge plate
when assembled.

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 .
