ABOUT REVERSING THE DOOR
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-scratch work surface for the
door.
• 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.
