Adjusting the Door

Your door is aligned at the factory before shipment.
Occasional re-adjustment may be necessary,
especially if an overlay panel is installed. The
following procedure will correct for up to 1/4"
alignment.
The door should never be flush with the top of the
cabinet. Even when level, the top edge of the door
will be 1/8" below the top of the cabinet (see Figure
20).
To adjust :
1 Compare the top edge of the door (opposite
the hinges) to the top edge of the cabinet
and note the type of adjustment (up or down)
needed.
2 Remove the top hinge pivot pin with a
Phillips
and lift door off bottom hinge pin. Be careful
not to lose door closers (see Figure 23).
3 With door upside-down, loosen but do not
remove the two hinge plate screws.

move up, move plate toward outside of door.
If door edge needs to move down, move
