Hinge Bushing Procedures
The Type III hinge is designed for left or right hand latches. To reverse the door swing to a
cage, the hinge bushings must be removed from the door and rotated. The hinge bushing
has a larger diameter top than the bottom.
The bushings (door) must be installed into the hinge guide slot from the top. There is a flat
side on the bushing that slides through the hinge guide. Do NOT force the hinge bushing
into the guide slot.

STEP 1:
Use a flathead screwdriver to pry, separate the two hinge bushing halves. See
FIGURE 3.17 & 3.18
STEP 2:
Reinstall the hinge bushings with the larger
end at the top. The top lip prevents the
hinge bushing from sliding through the hinge
assembly. Snap the two pieces together
with the flat side of the bushings facing the
cage door. See FIGURE 3.19
STEP 3:
Reinstall the cage door.
The hinge bushings must completely be seated
into the hinge assemblies for proper operation.
