ABSTRACT:
A system for mounting doors to a cabinet assembly which includes posts at the corners of the cabinet assembly. Each corner post defines an inner wall having spaced openings. A pair of door mounting assemblies are engageable with each corner post. Each door mounting assembly includes a hinge assembly and a mounting bracket which is engageable with a pair of openings in the inner wall of the corner post. The hinge assembly includes a first section mounted to the door and a second section mounted to the mounting bracket. The hinge sections are removably engageable with each other, such that the mounting bracket and second hinge section are separately engageable with the post. The mounting bracket includes a pair of engagement members which are received within a pair of openings in the post, to secure the mounting bracket and second section of the hinge to the post. The mounting bracket also includes a locking member for engagement with an opening in the post for releasably locking the mounting bracket in position. The door is mounted to the cabinet assembly by engaging the first hinge sections, which are mounted to the door, with the second hinge sections after engagement of the second hinge sections with the posts via the mounting brackets. Retainer brackets are engageable with top and bottom cross-members of the cabinet assembly, separate from the door mounting arrangement, for interacting with a locking or latching mechanism provided on the door to selectively maintain the door in a closed position.
