Note: The easiest way to
attach the 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

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
the door using 2
screws .
