Door Reversal Instructions

The instructions here are for changing the door swing from a right to a left side hinge. If the door has been reversed, and it is necessary to change it back, use care when following these instructions. Some of the illustrations and the left/right references will be reversed, and you will need to read the instructions carefully.

• Open the door and remove the two plastic hole caps a on the catch side by gently prying up with a flat blade screwdriver. Save these for step 6.

  Warning

  • Be sure to support the weight of the door before removing the hinge screws.

  

• While supporting the door, remove the 2 screws b on the door hinge, two from each hinge. Set the door aside face down on a protected surface to prevent damage to the door or the work surface.

  

  Warning

  • The edges of the door cover may be sharp. Take care when handling, or wear gloves to avoid injury.

• With the door on a protected surface, remove all screws on each side of the door and lift off the inner door frame c using a flat blade screwdriver. Remove the latch hook d and blank e and install them on the opposite side.

  

• Remove the 4 screws f securing the hinges to the door frame. Remove the two plastic cover caps g. Reinstall the hinges f and cover caps g on the opposite sides from which they were removed.

  

• With the hinges and cover caps in the new locations, remount the inner door frame onto the outer door frame with the screws removed in step 3 above.

  Warning

  • Be sure to support the weight of the door before assembling the hinge screws.

  

• Reinstall the door with the screws removed in step 2. Install the two plastic hole caps removed in step 1 on the opposite side.
