REVERSING
Installation instructions
THE DOOR SWING
IMPORTANT
NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
• Read the instructions all the way through before starting.
• Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.
Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using them
in the wrong places.
Provide a non-scratching
work surface for
the doors.
IMPORTANT:
Once you begin, do not move the cabinet
until door-swing reversal is completed.
These instructions are for changing the hinges from
the right side to the left side--if
you ever want to change the
hinges back to the right side, follow these same instructions
and reverse all references to left and right.
