Door Alignment Check and
Adjustment
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
When properly aligned:
• The door will not be flush with the top of the
cabinet. The top edge of the door will be 1/8”
(3.175 mm) below the cabinet top.
• The door gasket will be firmly in contact with the
perimeter of the cabinet and not pinched on the
hinge side of the door.
The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4”
misalignment:
Figure 29
1. Compare the top edge of the door (opposite the
hinges) to the top edge of the cabinet
(Figure 29)
and
note the type (up or down) of adjustment needed.
Figure 30
2. Remove the top hinge pivot pin with a Phillips
screwdriver
(Figure 30)
and lift door off bottom hinge
pin. Be careful not to lose the door closer insert sets.

3. Turn the door upside down and inspect the hinge plate
mounting holes.
• Your plate has slotted mounting holes
(Figure 31)
.
Loosen but do not remove the two hinge plate
screws.
4. If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up,
move plate toward outside of door. If door edge needs
to move down, move plate toward inside of door.
Repeat until top edge of door is parallel with top of
cabinet and tighten screws securely.

5. After adjustment is complete, remove the door closers
from the bottom hinge, clean thoroughly and apply
petroleum jelly to the mating surfaces of the closers. Be
sure that bosses on closers
(Figure 32)
align with holes
in the door and bottom cabinet hinge plates. Mount
door and install top hinge pivot pin.
