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.
