Door Alignment Check and Adjustment

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 in.
(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 in.

3. Turn the door upside down and inspect the hinge plate

mounting holes.

• Your plate has slotted mounting holes (Figure

16, 1). 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 (Figure 16, 2). If
door edge needs to move down, move plate toward
inside of door (Figure 16, 3). Repeat until top edge of
door is parallel with top of cabinet and tighten screws
securely (Figure 16, 1).

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 17, 1) align with
holes in the door and bottom cabinet hinge plates.
Mount door and install top hinge pivot pin.
