Installation Steps

Step 1: Mark the Position

1. Decide where you want to place the hinges on the door or cabinet.
2. Use a pencil to mark the positions for the screws on both the door and the frame.
3. Ensure the hinges are aligned and level by using a ruler or measuring tape.

Step 2: Prepare for Installation

2. If there is any resistance or misalignment, adjust the hinges accordingly.

• Regularly check the screws to ensure they remain tight.
• Lubricate the hinges occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
• Inspect the hinges for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary.
