Reversing the Door Swing (27” solid door models)
The 27” solid door models come standard with a right hand hinged door. To reverse the
door to left hand hinging follow the steps below. You will need a Bottom (145683) Left
Hand Hinge to reverse the door swing.
1. Disconnect the cabinet from power.
2. Lay the cabinet on its back.
3. Open the door more than 90
˚
and remove and save the 4 hexagonal bolts that
secure the Top Hinge Plate to the cabinet.
When removing the bolts, be careful as the Top Hinge Plate is under spring
tension and will rotate once the bolts are removed.
Lift the door slightly forward to remove it from the cabinet. Remove the Top
Hinge Assembly (hinge plate, shaft only) from the top right of the door and push
the spring into the hole on the right side of the door and cover with the grey
silicone cap that is from the left side of the door. Please keep the Top Hinge
Assembly (hinge plate, shaft only) for use to the left side in step 9.
4. Remove the bottom right hinge attached to the cabinet by removing the 4 bolts.
Save the 4 bolts and discard the Bottom Right Hinge.
5. Attach the supplied Bottom Left Hinge (145683) with 4 bolts removed in step 4 on
the left side of the bottom of the cabinet.
6. Return the cabinet to its upright position.
7. Remove the grey silicone cap from the top left corner of the door and re-insert it
in the hole in the top right of the door. Remove the Bushing from the bottom right
of the door and insert it into the hole in the bottom left of the door.
8. The spring (left) is already in the pocket on the top left corner of the door.
Important - The straight end of the spring will need to be inserted into a small
hole in the bottom of the pocket so when it is rotated it has tension.
9. Install the Top shaft taken out from the right side to the top left pocket/spring and
insert the straight end of the spring into the small hole at the bottom of the hinge
shaft collar. Insert the Top Hinge Plate onto the Hinge Shaft. The Top Hinge
Plate should be at a 90 degree angle to the door and sticking out to the front of
the door when the spring is relaxed.
10. Place the Door on the cabinet by inserting the pin on the Bottom Hinge into the
Bushing placed into the bottom of the Door in step 7.
11. To apply tension to the spring, wind the Top Hinge clockwise 180 degrees and
use the screws removed in step 3 to attach the Top Hinge Plate to the cabinet.
Note that the Top Hinge Plate can rotate due to the tension of the spring. Work
carefully.
12. Check the Door to confirm the self-closing feature is operating properly. Adjust
spring tension as required.
13. Wait one hour before re-connecting the unit to power.
