ABSTRACT:
A reversible clothes dryer door mounting arrangement in which the hinge assembly attaching the door to the dryer cabinet includes at least one and preferably two leaf hinges, each having a fixed hinge leaf attached to the door and a detachable hinge leaf attached to the cabinet. Each detachable leaf has a pair of vertically disposed keyhole shaped screw holes. The reduced portion of the upper keyhole extends upwardly from the enlarged portion. The reduced portion of the lower keyhole extends downwardly from the enlarged portion. Mounting holes are provided in the cabinet front wall on both sides of the access opening, aligned to be in register with the reduced portions of the upper and lower keyhole openings. The door is mounted by partially inserting a mounting screw in the uppermost mounting hole on the selected side of the cabinet. The enlarged portion of the upper keyhole opening in the leaf is passed over the head of the mounting screw and dropped down. When the upper edge of the reduced portion of the keyhole abuts the shank of the screw, the door is aligned for insertion of the remaining mounting screws. To reverse the mounting, the door is disconnected by removing the screws attaching the detachable leaves to the cabinet and the door is inverted and reattached on the opposite side of the access opening as above described.
