If necessary, replace the hinge mounting bolts (E) with the adjusting bolts (P/N 90102-SFA-305) made specifically for door adjustment, then adjust at the hinges (F): Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (E, G) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
