DOOR/HINGE ADJUSTMENTS
Over time and with heavy use doors the hinges may
become loose. If it is noticed that the door is beginning to
sag, it may become necessary to tighten the screws that
mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. If the
doors are loose or sagging this can cause the hinge to pull
out of the frame which may damage both the doors and the
door hinges. In some cases this can require qualified service
agents or maintenance personnel.
If it becomes necessary to adjust a door, follow these
instructions:
1. Ensure plastic hinge bushings are in place. Replace if
missing, worn or broken.
2. If the door needs to be higher at the handle:
A. Use a 5/16" wrench to slightly loosen bottom hinge
screws.
B.
Pull the hinge toward the opening and tighten the
screws.
C. Use a 5/16" wrench to slightly loosen the top hinge
screws.
D. Push the hinge away from the opening and tighten
the screws.
3. If the door needs to be lower at the handle:
A. Use a 5/16" wrench to slightly loosen bottom hinge
screws.
B.
Push the hinge away from the opening and tighten
the screws.
