The handle needs to be pulled 90 degrees down to open the door. Seems a bit much, is that normal? Did I adjust something wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong. All passage door latches need to rotate 90 degrees to open them. You'll get used to it.

It is a trial and error process of tightening enough to hold the door up at the upper position but not too much so that the door stays down in the lowered position. Be very careful and fully secure in each 1/4 turn - it can slap you hard.

Make sure the attachment is pushed all the way in, then turn the locking ring at the top of the handle. It can be difficult to turn!

I didn't install my hinges according to the diagram so I can open my desk a full 90 degrees. This is because the top lays flat to the box. I also put the hinge on the out side of the box. I found I could not reach the hinges to open and close them because I have short arms.

What's not clear is what the current position of the opener is. You have to readjust your grip if the cork is not coming up when lifting the handle. Can you send more detailed information?

I'm not sure I understand your question. When it was time to put the handle back on, I positioned it so that it was facing the right direction, then turned the base to tighten. If you are referring to the tool - it's not threaded and works both ways.

I would say yours has a problem. With ours you just push the release and the door actually "pops" open. You shouldn't need both hands. Send it back.

The door on mine fits very loosely. It looks like it was made that way and it seems to work fine. I assumed it had something to do with the ventilation.

My handle was completely broken. If you have to pull the handle a few times prior to opening, is it due to the door being locked? My back latch had to be unlocked several times prior to me finally getting it to open up. Then, shortly after, it stopped working and I had to replace it. Not sure if it's possible to do any kind of tightening on it. For me, this part was a pain to change, and if you're going to open it up and tighten it, might as well change it out. I didn't answer your question, because I don't know the answer, but I hope you can fix it. Good luck.

The door does swing open 180 degrees. As for changing which way it opens... if you are skilled with tools and are very careful you might be able to take the hinges off and switch it around, but i wouldnt recommend it

When I unpacked the unit, the door was attached. I noticed the door was slightly skewed with the top left corner of the door too far to the left. Loosening the screw on the pin on the top of the unit. I was able to rotate it counterclockwise and the door aligned perfectly. The choice of sending it back is certainly yours but I would put a couple of washers around the bottom pin to sufficiently raise the door so the top pin engages. I would do this as long as the door seal fit properly against the body of the unit. Good luck. The unit is very quiet and spacious.

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

I had the same problem. The outside handle has to be vertical. It doesn't look so great but it works. The spring in the inside of the original handle must have been stronger.

Hi if i remember you have to lower the handle down all the way and then either apply the safety or remove the safety. Hope this helps

No. My handle was always loose and couldn't be tightened all the way. It's junk. Pass on it or send it back! It's defective!

No, sorry I hit yes on accident.. thought it was "yes I would answer". Been using mine daily ever since I got it and have had no issues with the handle what so ever. In fact mine is still rather stiff and does not fall down.

There should be a hex wrench with the doorknob, if not it is a standard size. You use it to loosend the handle and either rotate it 180 degrees or switch sides depending on your knob.
