Drill a handle hole in
each door
Important: Please follow
these instructions
carefully.
Lay the 2 doors
down onto a smooth
surface.
Check that the hinges
and holes are in the
same place as the
diagrams.
Note: We recommend
the use of a small piece
of waste wood, placed
behind the hole while
drilling, to reduce the
possibility of any
breakout.
Using the pilot hole in
the rear face of the door,
drill through the hole
indicated opposite, using
a 2.5mm diameter drill.
Turn the door over and
open out the 2.5mm hole
that you have just drilled
by drilling back through it
with a 5mm drill.
IMPORTANT
Carefully choose which hole
you need to drill in each door

Step 21
Fit doors and handles
Note: The easiest way to
attach each door is
to fit the top hinge first,
then align and fit the
other hinges.
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.
c: The hinge must be
flat against the hinge
plate prior to any
adjustment.
d: The hinge must
NOT be AT AN ANGLE
to the hinge plate
when assembled.
This would indicate that
the recess at the bottom
of screw B had not
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 .
