Tips & safety

  • Line up the doors. Each hinge has an adjuster (4 in all) to move the door sideways, and the push-opener plungers can be adjusted too — manual p. 27–28.
  • Hanging it on the wall instead? Use the EKET suspension rail (sold separately), its manual and the drilling template AA-1908823.
