[VAC] Re: loose cabinet doors...



Yosef,
The only way to tighten them up is to lower the cabinets.  There are a
couple of screws in the closet and in the cabinets in the kitchen which hold
the ends up.  About half way down the long cabinet, there is a piece of
plywood paneling attached to a curved bracked on the ceiling.  You can
either drill out the rivets on the bracket, or unscrew the plywood from the
cabinet.  There are screws all along the bottom back of the cabinet along
the wall.  The screws go up through an aluminum strip which is riveted to
the wall.  You may be able to lower the long cabinet enough without removing
them, but you will probably have to loosen them.  Get some help. as the
cabinet is heavy and will fall once the screws are removed and the seals
broken (between the rubben gasket and the front wall and closet.  Hope this
helps.
