4ALIGN DOUBLE DOORS

If the top of the doors are uneven, first try to raise the lowest door by turning the leveling leg on the same side as the door until the doors are even. If the unit rocks, re-adjust the leveling legs to the extent that the unit is stable.

If the doors remain uneven, turn the adjustable pin to raise, or lower, the left door to match the right door. Use a 1/4￿Allen wrench to turn the pin.
