The previous review was accurate. The mechanical fit of DM1036 doors is so poor that unless you are an engineer, or a machinist, you should take a pass on these.
It took me about 2 hours of completely disassembling the doors, then filing, slotting some holes and replacing some hardware to get these to fit. This is not a simple installation.
There were several different problems. The glass is pressed into extruded aluminum frames, but none of the frames was aligned on the glass properly. These had to be files straight. There are bushings along the top of the frames to guide the door as it opens and closes. These were located too close to the edge of the frames and interfered with one another when the doors closed. The bushings had to be moved away from the edge of the frame. The doors would not close properly and the hinges had to be adjusted. Finally there were some screw heads that just didn't fit right and needed to be filed down.
This is just a summary of the problems I found, and may not include some you may find.
