Frequently Asked Questions - Corridor 8172 BDI

How do I level the Corridor 8172 cabinet?

Use the provided hex wrench (B2) to adjust the levelers at the bottom of each leg. Turn clockwise to extend, counterclockwise to retract until the cabinet is stable and level.

Can the door swing be reversed?

Yes. Remove the hinge screws using a Phillips screwdriver, rotate the door 180° (upside down), and reattach the door using the same screws into the threaded inserts on the opposite side.

How do I adjust the door if it is misaligned?

Use the Phillips screwdriver to adjust the hinges: Screw 1 moves the door left/right, Screw 2 moves it in/out. For a twisted door, adjust the set screw in the middle of the hinge bars: clockwise pushes the middle outward, counterclockwise pulls it inward.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the shelves?

The manual does not specify a maximum weight. However, shelves are designed for typical media equipment and LP records. Avoid overloading to prevent damage.

How do I install the LP record storage bars?

Insert the LP storage bars (L) into the designated holes at the bottom of the cabinet. When not in use, they can be stored in the holes at the back of the cabinet.

How do I clean the glass top and other surfaces?

Clean the glass top with standard glass cleaner. For steel parts and wood veneer, use a moist cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What tools are needed for assembly?

The package includes a Phillips screwdriver (A) and three hex wrenches (B1, B2, B3). No power tools should be used.

I am missing a hardware piece. What should I do?

Reverse Door-Swing if desired

The door on the Corridor AV Tower can either hinge left or right. To change sides, remove the screws using a Phillips Screwdriver (A) that secure the hinge plates to the cabinet. Rotate the door 180° (up side down) and reattach the door with the same screws going into the threaded inserts on the other side of the cabinet as illustrated.

Fine tuning your new BDI Corridor Home Theater Furniture

These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions for your Corridor AV cabinet. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your Corridor cabinet may not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation. Be aware that depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required. The high-quality European 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 Corridor unit.

STEP 1 - Level your Corridor unit

Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet leg using Hex Wrench B2. If your floor is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers to attain a level, stable cabinet placement. Turning the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.

CORRECT! Door is sitting squarely and evenly spaced on tops and sides.

STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges 2.1.1.2.

The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely without rubbing against the door frame.

If the cabinet's doors appear out of alignment, this condition can be corrected with minor adjustment to the European hinges on each door.

Because these hinges are infinitely adjustable, adjusting one hinge element can sometimes cause the need for adjustments to other elements. But with a few adjustments, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they hang perfectly within your cabinet.

Use the Phillips Screwdriver A supplied to adjust Corridor's door hinges:

- By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT within the frame. Make minor adjustments at both top and bottom hinges for best results.

- By adjusting Screw 2 the entire door will move IN or OUT, opening or closing the gap between the door frame and cabinet. (This screw rarely needs

adjustment.)

Door adjustments

If your door is not straight, the door can be straightened by adjusting the depth of the set screw found in the middle of the 2 metal bars on the back of the door.
