13 REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

IMPORTANT NOTES

Read the instructions all the way through before starting.

Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.

Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using them in

the wrong places.

Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.

Normal completion time to reverse the door swing is 30-60

minutes.

IMPORTANT:

  Once you begin, do not move the cabinet until

door-swing reversal is completed.

These instructions are for changing the hinges from the right side

to the left side - if you ever want to switch them back to the right

side, follow these same instructions and reverse all references to

the left and right.
