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.

Door mounting system for a storage unit

A mounting bracket system is provided for installing a shelving accessory within a cabinet assembly having a pair of front and rear corner posts on opposed sides of the cabinet. Each of the pair of corner posts has facing surfaces formed with aligned keyholes therein. The mounting bracket system includes a pair of mounting brackets disposed on each side of the cabinet, one of the mounting brackets being selectively mounted to a front corner post and the other being selectively mounted to a rear corner post. Each of the mounting brackets has a planar side wall including mounting structure for mounting the shelving accessory. A first end wall extends generally perpendicular to the side wall and has an outer surface engageable with one of the facing surfaces. A second end wall is spaced from and lies parallel to the first end wall. A pair of rivets is fixed to the first end wall and is spaced apart a predetermined distance matching the spacing between two of the keyholes. Each of the rivets has a head and neck structure projecting from the outer surface of the end wall. The head and neck structure is received in an upper portion of the keyhole and is slidable into a lower portion of the keyhole. A spring-biased locking device is secured to an inner surface of the first end wall and has a member protruding therethrough for releasable engagement within a keyhole. The locking device is located between the rivets for preventing dislodging of the mounting bracket relative to its respective corner post.
