The following is more easily done before the cabinet panels are assembled.
- Measure and cut the piece of plywood (or solid wood) for your door.
- Place the door on top of the canopy front panel.
- Make sure that you will have enough room for your hinges at the top.
- With a pencil, draw a line around the door on the front panel.
- Measure and mark on the panel a line which is 1/2" inside the door outline line.
- With a Skil saw, cut just inside the inner line.
- Measure on the door where you want to place the hinges.
- Keep in mind which way the door will swing.
- Place the hinges on the door and mark, with a pencil, the center of the screw holes.
- Place a nail on the screw marks and drive it 1/2 way through the door material.
- Place the hinges on the door and screw the screws in with a screwdriver.
- Place the door on the front canopy panel.
- Make sure that the door is centered over the front panel hole.
- Mark the hinge screw holes with a pencil.
- Place a nail on the screw marks and drive it 1/2 way through the door material.
- Attach the door to the front panel with the remaining screws.
- Check that the door is fitted properly and swings freely.
