Adjustments
Cabinet doors may require some adjustment after a
period of usage, depending upon the frequency of
door openings. This is normal. Follow the appropriate
procedure below:
SOLID DOOR ADJUSTMENT
1.
Remove the metal hinge covers that conceal the
three hinge mounting screws. Gently pry it off
with a flat-bladed screwdriver.
Hinge/Hinge Cover
2.
Loosen the three hinge mounting screws
approximately two rotations, using a Phillips
screwdriver.
3.
While a second person firmly pushes the door
closed to the front face of the cabinet, re-tighten
the screws.
4.
Re-install the hinge covers.
GLASS DOOR ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the spring tension:
1.
Locate the adjustment bushing on the hinges. This
bushing is on top of the hinge for right-hand
doors and on the bottom for left-hand doors.
2.
Insert a small nail (1/8”) into a hole in the
adjustment bushing. Wind the bushing clockwise
until the pin can be removed from the bushing.

3.
Continue winding the bushing clockwise until the
desired tension is achieved.
4.
Re-insert the bushing pin.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the hinge spring.
Manitowoc recommends adjusting the hinge
adjustment bushings one hole at a time.
