BDI 8200 Alcove - Manual (Page 10)

Fine tuning your new BDI Alcove Home Theater Furniture
These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions for your Alcove
stand. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your Alcove stand may not appear to be in perfect
alignment (Refer to sample cabinet doors shown below). Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situa-
tion. Be aware that depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required. The high-quality Euro-
pean hinge hardware is infinitely adjustable, but changing one element can cause the need for further adjustments. Through
a little adjustment, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they are sitting perfectly on your
Alcove unit.
STEP 1 - Level your Alcove unit (if needed)
The levelers which are concealed within the base can be adjusted from inside the
Alcove cabinet to compensate for an uneven floor or to secure your cabinet so that
it does not roll. If you are having difficulty with misaligned doors, it is
recommended that you first retract all levelers and make sure that the unit is resting
on it’s wheels. If the center door appears to be sagging (center door hangs below
the side doors) raise the leveler in the center to compensate for this.
STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)
The doors on your Alcove stand should be perfectly
spaced and the doors should open and close freely with-
out rubbing against the door frame. Adjustments may be
made to the Alcove door hinges with the use of a Phillips
head screwdriver. The hinge hardware has three
adjustment screws.
• By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move left and right
within the frame. For best results, make minor adjustments
to top and bottom hinge for best results.
• If adjusting Screw 1 has not achieved the desired result,
you can adjust Screw 2 and the door will move up and
down within the frame (the top and bottom hinges need to
be adjusted the same amount).
• Adjusting Screw 3 will cause the entire door to move
in and out, opening and closing the gap between the door
frame and cabinet. This screw rarely needs adjustment. Step 2: Adjust Door Hinges.
INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.
Step 1: Level your Alcove unit.
CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on tops
and sides.
