• Mark the location for the two pegs that are on the lift up hinge onto the cabinet box.
• Repeat this step in the top, front corner on both sides of the cabinet box.

STEP 2:
• Use a 3/16” drill bit to drill 3/16” (5mm) deep into the marked locations of the box. Use tape to mark 3/16” (5mm)
deep on the drill bit to prevent drilling all the way through the box.
• These holes will be used to hold the hinge in the correct location, by the two short pegs, while being secured into place.
• Repeat this step on both sides of the cabinet box.

You may find that adjustment is needed with the hinges to line up the door properly. Using a Phillips screwdriver you
can adjust the hinges in six directions.
• To adjust the lift strength of the hinge, use a Philips screwdriver on the screw beneath the hinge arm.
• Adjusting the screw clockwise will increase the strength causing the door to stay open on its own.
• Adjusting the screw counterclockwise will decrease the strength causing the door close without support.
• To remove the drawer front, insert a flat-head screwdriver between each hinge arm and each hinge mounting plate
in the location shown and rotate slightly to un-clip and detach.
