Hinging & Hanging Doors:
Place hinges about 2 from top and
bottom of doors. Then secure the hinges on door to the frame. If re-using
old hinges, place hinges so screws make new holes.
If using Quality Doors concealed hinges, refer to instructions
provided with hinges (F.21).
When using hinges like our #900(F.3, pg. 9), screw into face
of cabinet frame and center the door over the opening, allowing an equal
margin of overlap on all sides (F.22). On openings with two doors, leave
a gap of about 1/8 between doors.
Preparing old drawer box to accept new drawer
fronts:
When replacing the drawer fronts, you must first determine whether your drawer
boxes are three-sided or four-sided.
If the drawer front makes the forward wall of the drawer box,
then you have a three-sided drawer box( F. 2 3 ) .
If the drawer front
is mounted to a separate piece that makes up the forward wall of the drawer
box, you have a four-sided drawer box(F.25).
Remove drawer slides
from the old drawer box.
Three-Sided Drawer Box
(F.23):
Using a saw, trim the drawer front so that no edges extend beyond
the top, bottom or sides of the drawer box (F.24). This allows the old drawer
front to fit inside the drawer opening.
Hide rough edges
by turning the box around. The old drawer front should now be in the back
of the drawer box.
When using hinges
like our #900(F.3, pg. 9), screw into face of cabinet frame and c e n t e
r the door over the opening, allowing an equal margin of overlap on all sides
(F.22). On openings with two doors, leave a gap of about 1/8 between
doors.
Replace drawer slides,
making sure they are centered and flush with the front edge of the box.
Center the new drawer
front on the box and temporarily secure with screws (F.26).
Slide the drawer box into the opening to check alignment. Adjust
as necessary, then tighten the screws.

the drawer box.
