STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)
The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely without rubbing
against the door frame.
If the cabinet’s doors appear out of alignment, this condition can be corrected with minor adjustment to the
European hinges 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 doors
to make sure that they hang perfectly within your cabinet.
Use the Phillips Screwdriver (A) supplied to adjust Corridor'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 door
frame and cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)
Fine tuning your new BDI Corridor Home Theater Furniture
These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions
for your Corridor AV cabinet. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your Corridor
cabinet may not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation.
Be aware that depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required. The high-quality
European hinge hardware is infinitely adjustable, but changing one element can cause the need for further
adjustments. Through a little adjustment, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that
they are sitting perfectly on your Corridor unit.
STEP 1 - Level your Corridor unit
Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet leg using Hex
Wrench (B2). If your floor is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers to attain a level, stable cabinet
placement. Turning the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.
CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on tops
and sides.
INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.
