# How to Attach a Refrigerator Door
A refrigerator door may be removed when the appliance is being shipped to another location or as part of a maintenance procedure. Many refrigerators also feature reversible doors that can be removed and hinged on either the right or left side of the unit. Whatever the reason for the door’s removal, the door must be properly reattached to ensure it seals well and is aligned correctly. Attaching a refrigerator door to the appliance is a job you can do with basic do-it-yourself skills.
