Process

Procedure 1: Remove the door

1. Disconnect the cabinet from the mains power supply.

2. Remove the sign panel and sign sides.

3. Remove the split pin from the capstan at the bottom

hinge.

The cabinet light supply flex and earth wire run through the

top hinge and need to be unplugged and unscrewed to

remove the hinge.

4. To unplug the cabinet light supply flex, undo the two

screws at the bottom of the electrics box cover, remove

the cover and unplug the cabinet supply flex plug.

5. Unscrew the earth wire. Note that the star washer is on

the top.

6. Unscrew the top hinge, and lift the door up and off the cabinet. Keep the top hinge for door tensioning (Procedure 4: Step 4).

Procedure 2: Modify the cabinet for hinge reversal

1. Remove the door lock bracket from the top of the cabinet and fit to the other side.

2. Remove the bottom hinge, tension bracket and height adjustment block.

•Keep the tension bracket and height adjustment block (you will fit these to the opposite side once the door is refitted).

•You can discard the bottom hinge.

3. Unplug the door switch cable (located above the door) from the cabinet.

4. Fit the door switch to the opposite side of the cabinet, and plug the door switch cable into the opposite side socket.

5. Fit the new bottom hinge.

Procedure 3: Modify the door for hinge reversal

1. Remove the door lock bracket, and fit it to the opposite

end of the door.

2. Remove the bush and keep it for the other end of the

door.

3. Remove the capstan, bush and bush washer, and

unhook from the torsion bar.

4. it is difficult to remove the torsion bar from the door, so

push it into the door frame.

5. Fit the capstan, bush and bush washer to the new

torsion bar, and fit this assembly to the opposite end of

the door.

6. Fit the bush (kept from step 2) to the end of the door,

opposite the capstan.

7. Remove the door switch magnet from the end of the

door, and fit to the opposite end.

Note: Ensure the magnet is orientated correctly and does

not protrude past the frame edge.

8. Remove all labels from the door, and clean off any adhesive left by the labels.

Procedure 4: Refit the door

1. Lift the door onto the bottom hinge.

2. Run the cabinet light supply flex and earth wire through the top hinge and reconnect them. Ensure the star washer is fitted

between the cabinet and earth wire.

3. Fit the top hinge to the top of the door, and partially fix in place on the top of the cabinet. Align the door with the cabinet and

tighten the fixing screws.

4. Use the old top hinge (from Procedure 1: Step 6) to apply

tension to the door via the capstan.

•Rotate the capstan against the door opening direction to

remove any slack.

•Once resistance is felt, continue to rotate 180° to provide

tension.

5. While holding door tension on the capstan, fit the tension

bracket to the top screw hole so that it supports the door

tension on the capstan.

6. Fit the split pin through the hole in the capstan to lock the

door in place.

7. Check door tension by holding the door open about 100 mm

and letting it go. The door should gently close, with the

gasket forming an airtight seal with the cabinet.

8. Fit the height adjustment block to the bottom screw hole. As

standard, the notched edges on the bottom of the hinge and

the top of the height adjustment block align to set the door to

the correct level. If necessary, rotate the height adjustment

block to level the door.

9. Reassemble the cabinet.
