1. The front top signboard and front bottom grill must be removed to access the door hinge mounting screws.
Remove the front top signboard by removing the 3 screws which attach it on the top and the 2 screws which attach
on the bottom.
2. Remove the front bottom grill by removing the 2 screws on the bottom of the grill and to either side which attach it
to the unit. Once the screws are removed, the front bottom grill slides down for removal.
3. Remove the 6 screws which are located in the pre-drilled holes used to mount the door hinges on the left door
pillar (when facing the unit). 3 screws are for the top hinge and 3 screws are for the bottom hinge.
4. Before the door can be removed, the tension stored in the top and bottom of the doors’ self closing springs must
be safely released. To release the tension in the springs, insert a rigid object into one of the door spring shaft’s
unoccupied tension lock screw holes. Gently turn the door spring shaft until you can easily unscrew the tension lock
screw. Remove the tension lock screw. Slowly remove the rigid object which was inserted into one of the spring
shaft’s unoccupied tension lock screw holes. When the rigid object clears the hole, the door spring will release the
stored tension and the door spring shaft will spin violently. Remember that there are two springs, the top and the
bottom, whose tensions must be released.
5. Have a second person secure and hold the door against the unit while the top hinge is removed.
6. Remove the top hinge by removing the 3 screws securing it.
7. Remove the door by lifting it until the bottom clears the bottom hinge. Ensure that the top and bottom springs
and springs’ shafts do not fall out.
8. Remove the bottom hinge by removing the 3 screws securing it.
9. The right top hinge becomes the left bottom hinge . Install the right top hinge into the left bottom position
using 3 screws. Ensure that the door hinge pins are facing up.
10. Flip the door over so that the hinged part is on the left side, when facing the door.
11. Install the door onto the bottom door hinge. The longer of the two pins pointing upward should be inserted into
the bottom spring shaft.
12. Have a second person secure and hold the door against the unit while the top hinge is installed.
13. The right bottom hinge becomes the left top hinge . Install the left top hinge onto the door. The two pins on
the door hinge should be facing down and the longer of the two inserted into the top door spring shaft.
14. Secure the top hinge to the unit using 3 screws.
15. The door should now be secured to the unit. Ensure that the door is secured before proceeding.
16. Tension must be added to the doors’ springs for the self closing action to work. Using two rigid objects that can
be inserted into the door springs’ unoccupied door spring shaft tension lock screw holes, turn the shaft
counterclockwise, when viewing the shaft from a birds eye perspective. 2 to 3 rotations of tension should be added.
17. Install the tension lock screw into the door spring shaft once tension has been added. Remember that steps 19
and 20 must be completed for both the top and bottom springs.
