Installation Instructions
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
2
When reversing the door swing:
•
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.
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 change the
hinges back to the right side, follow these same instructions
and reverse all references to left and right.
