Door Hinge
The door hinge is attached to the front panel by two
T-25 screws. In addition to these two screws, there
is another screw that holds the door hinge in place
when the T-25 screws are removed. This screw can
be installed in either the "W" or "D" position. "D" is
used for right swinging doors and "W" is used for left
swinging doors.
The door assembly pivots on four bushings (shown
above). The hinge bushings are sandwiched be-
tween the hinge bracket and hinge plate as shown
on the next page.
