Your new Ghent Message Center has been assembled and inspected to Ghent's high quality standards. Occassionally during shipment, your message center's door(s) may shift. This shift results in an uneven gap between the door(s) and the body of your unit. The uneven gap is easily remedied. Mount your unit per the instructions on page 1. Then simply open the affected door(s) and gently tap the door corner opposite the largest gap (see the figure above). When you tap the door, be sure to use a rubber mallet or a block of wood and a hammer so the door's finish is not marred. After you've tapped the door corner, close the door and inspect the surrounding gap. If needed repeat the tapping procedure.
