Abstract

PURPOSE:To change easily a right-opening door into a left-opening door by boring a pin insertion hole on the doors of a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber in both the upper part and lower part and threading at a pitch identical to a hinge on a ceiling of the freezing chamber with a pin insertion hole on the front of the refrigerating chamber in the middle part and the lower part of said pin insertion hole, and threading into a small machine screw at a pitch identical to a handle on the side of a door hinge, and mounting a rubber-like cover on the pin insertion hole. CONSTITUTION:Doors 3A and 3B and a handle 7 are removed from hinges 5A, 5B, and 5C by loosening small machine screws 9. The small machine screws 9 for covers 8 for pin insertion holes 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4C and other machine screws 9 are removed as well. Then, the hinge 5C is mounted on the left side with the small machine screws 9 as illustrated where a pin 10C for the hinge 5C is fitted into the insertion hole 4D of a door 3D. A pin 10D of the hinge 5D is inserted into the pin insertion hole 4C in the upper part of the door 3D and mounted with the small machine screws 9 while an upper part pin 10B is fitted into the insertion hole 4B of the door 3B; a pin 10A of the hinge is inserted into the upper part insertion hole 4A and the hinge 5A is fixed with the small machine screws 9. If a handle 7 is fixed on the right side with the small machine screws 9, a right-opening door will be turned into a left- opening type door.
