Note: A 5/16 hex nut driver is required to complete the following steps.

2. Remove the door (if attached) by lifting it up off the back box's hinge pins. Set the door aside.
3. Remove the lock catch and its screws from the right side of the back box.
4. Attach the lock catch to the left side of the back box so that the slot protrudes through the outside of the back box.
5. Use a 1/8 (3mm) punch and hammer to remove the hinge pins from the hinge leaves on the back box.
6. Reinsert the hinge pins so that they face lengthwise toward the bottom of the back box.
7. Remove all hinge hardware from the left side of the back box.
8. Attach the hinge hardware to the right side of the back box, so that the hinge pins are facing toward the top of the back box.
9. Turn the door upside down, align its hinges to the back box hinge pins, and then slide the door down onto the hinge pins.
