ABSTRACT:
Door mounting structure for reversibly mounting two vertically aligned doors on a cabinet such as a combined refrigerator/freezer. Upper and lower removably mounted hinge pins are disposed at the top and bottom of the cabinet adjacent a first side thereof. An intermediate hinge bracket is located adjacent the bottom edge of the upper door and the top edge of the lower door. This hinge bracket has a mounting portion and a support portion. The support portion is adapted to extend between the two doors and it includes a pivot hole for a slip fit with a double hinge pin. This intermediate hinge bracket is inverted in one side hinge position as compared with the opposite side hinge position. This hinge bracket also includes a side arm that has a lost-motion connection to a front frame of the cabinet to stabilize the mounting portion of the bracket.
