Details

The Avantco 178UC27KITFR Field Reversible Hinge Kit is an OEM replacement kit designed to enable field conversion of door hinge orientation on Avantco undercounter refrigerators and freezers. This kit allows technicians to convert the door from left-hinged to right-hinged configuration, or reverse the swing direction, without removing the unit from service. The kit includes all necessary hinge components, brackets, pins, and fasteners for complete field reversal.

Field reversible hinge kits are used when equipment placement or operational workflow requires the door to open in a different direction. Converting hinges using improper methods or non-OEM parts can result in misalignment, inadequate sealing, binding, or premature hinge failure that compromises undercounter unit performance. Proper conversion using an OEM kit ensures the door will operate reliably in its new orientation.

Installation of the 178UC27KITFR requires the undercounter unit to be powered down during the conversion process. The existing hinge assembly must be completely disassembled and removed. The new kit components are installed in the reverse configuration using the existing mounting locations on the cabinet. Standard hand tools are required for installation. After the conversion is complete, operate the door through multiple cycles to verify smooth, balanced operation and complete closure in the new hinge orientation. Ensure that in the new configuration, the door swing does not interfere with adjacent equipment or workspace. Following the kit instructions ensures a successful field conversion.
