This document provides installation instructions for a blind corner door, designed for use with blind corner cabinets. The kit includes all necessary components for installation and adjustment.
Function Description:
The blind corner door system allows for the installation of a door on a blind corner cabinet, providing access to the cabinet's interior. The system utilizes specialized hinges that enable the door to open and close smoothly, and also offers various adjustment options to ensure proper alignment and fit. The design is intended to integrate seamlessly with existing cabinetry, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The hinges are designed for easy attachment and removal, facilitating both initial installation and future maintenance or adjustments.
Important Technical Specifications:
The kit includes:
- Blind corner hinges (x2): These are the primary components for attaching the door to the cabinet. They feature a hinge cup that fits into pre-drilled holes on the door front and an arm that connects to a mounting plate on the cabinet.
- Mounting plates (x2): These plates secure the hinges to the cabinet box. They are designed to be installed horizontally in specific pre-drilled holes within the cabinet.
- Bumpers (x2): These small adhesive pads are attached to the back of the door to cushion its closing against the cabinet frame, reducing noise and protecting the door and cabinet from wear.
- Cover caps (x2): These caps snap onto the hinges after installation, providing a clean, finished look and protecting the hinge mechanism.
The installation process requires common tools such as a Phillips screwdriver and a mallet. The hinges are designed to be secured with screws, and the mounting plates also attach with screws.
Usage Features:
The blind corner door system offers several user-friendly features:
- Easy Installation: The instructions detail a step-by-step process for attaching the hinges to the door and then to the cabinet. The hinge cup is placed into a pre-drilled hole on the door front and tapped in with a mallet, then secured with screws. The mounting plates are installed horizontally on the cabinet box, aligning with pre-drilled holes, and secured with screws.
- Quick Door Attachment: To attach the door to the cabinet, the hook on the hinge arm snaps around a post on the mounting plate, and the hinge arm is pressed into the mounting plate clasp until a "click" is heard, indicating a secure connection.
- Adjustability: The hinges provide six directions of adjustment, allowing for precise alignment of the door.
- Up/Down Adjustment (Height): This is achieved by rotating an adjuster located in the center of the mounting plate.
- In/Out Adjustment (Depth): This is controlled by rotating an adjuster on the front of the mounting plate.
- Left/Right Adjustment: This is done by rotating a screw on the back of the mounting plate.
These adjustments can be made using a Phillips screwdriver, and it may be necessary to adjust both the top and bottom hinges to achieve the desired results.
- Aesthetic Finish: Cover caps are provided to snap onto the hinges, concealing the mechanism and providing a clean, finished appearance. Bumpers are attached to the door back to ensure a soft close and protect the cabinetry.
Maintenance Features:
The design also incorporates features that simplify maintenance and removal:
- Easy Door Removal: To remove the door from the cabinet, the user presses down on a clasp located inside the cabinet box on the base plate. This action releases the door hinge from the base plate. A slight wiggle of the hinge may be needed to fully detach it. This feature is useful for cleaning, repairs, or accessing the cabinet interior without the door.
- Hinge Removal from Door: If the hinge itself needs to be removed from the door, a Phillips screwdriver can be used to loosen the hinge cup from the bore hole in the door. This allows for replacement of the hinge or more extensive door maintenance.
- Protective Elements: The bumpers not only reduce noise but also protect the door and cabinet from impact damage over time, contributing to the longevity of the cabinetry. The cover caps protect the hinge mechanisms from dust and potential damage.
Overall, the blind corner door system is designed for straightforward installation, precise adjustment, and easy maintenance, making it a practical solution for blind corner cabinets.
