Hey everyone! I leveled my stand today, put the sump in, and tried to install the door. I was having a hard time getting it straight. Well, I pulled out the screw inserts on the cabinet side. I suppose I overtightened them. It didn't seem to take too much. I guess it's time to go to Lowe's and get some new ones and some glue. Has anyone else done this? What did you do? I'm having one of those days.

For stripped holes I like to stick wooden toothpicks in the holes and break them off flush then start the screw. Been doing that for years. There are a two screws on each hinge for adjustment purposes. The fastening screws get snugged and are not used at all to adjust. I just set up a 330.7 so I had to adjust 4 doors.
