Be careful with bottom screws in the door plate, they are often rusty and may require close attention.

If the plate is riveted, then simply drill rivets out.

Clean door/drawer and the cabinet face with an approved disinfectant. Leave for 30 secs and wipe dry

DART /PUSH IN TYPE INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - Hold seal by its corners to keep seal from tearing or magnet breaking. Press the seal firmly into the track/grooves to secure the arrowhead/dart

TIPS

Press in the corners first and work your way towards the middle of the door. There may be sagging with longer seals but don’t worry as this will correct itself. Run thumb along the edge of the seal to make sure arrowhead/dart is secure

FLAP/LIP TYPE SEAL INSTALLATION

Place the flap of the seal behind the securing plate.
Offer up the seal plate and new seal and screw back onto the door.
Test seal is secure by running thumb along edge of the seal.

TOP TIPS
  • For Best Results align the plate and new seal with a screw each side of the door first
  • Be careful, the plate can have sharp edges
  • Don’t reuse the old/rusty screws
COMMON PROBLEMS IF SEAL DOESN'T FIT OR DOOR DOESN'T CLOSE
  • Check if correct profile and measurements were ordered and the correct seals were provided

  • Check door is not crooked or bent

  • Cabinet may contain a counter force magnet behind the face (identify by a light grey plastic strip on face of cabinet)

Is the seal catching on the hinge side? Check hinges are aligned
