Replacing the
Torsion Bar
When the door tension can no longer be adjusted, replace the torsion bar.
Reversing the
Hinges
Single door cabinets only. The cabinet is supplied with the door hinged on the right hand side.
If required, the hinge can be swapped to the left hand side. Some spare parts are required to
complete the procedure, and are available in the Left Hand Hinge Kit (see page 50).
Procedure 21: To adjust the door tension
1. Remove the split pin from the capstan at the bottom hinge.
2. Remove the tension bracket from the bottom hinge.
3. Use a tool to apply tension to the door via the
capstan (the top hinge has a cut out for
tensioning, if a spare is available).
• First, rotate the capstan against the door
opening direction to remove any slack.
• Once resistance is felt, continue to rotate
180° to provide tension.
4. 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.
5. Fit the split pin through the hole in the capstan to
lock the door in place.
6. 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.

Procedure 22: To replace the torsion bar
1. Remove the door from the cabinet (see page 28).
2. Lever the capstan, bush and bush washer from
the bottom of the door, and unhook from the
torsion bar.
Note: The torsion bar cannot easily be removed
from the door. Cut the old torsion bar and push it
into the door frame.
3. Fit the capstan, bush and bush washer to the
new torsion bar, and fit this assembly into the
bottom of the door.
4. Refit the door (see page 28).
