    Abstract: A preferred embodiment adjustable door includes a bracket having a front and sides defining a cavity, and one of the sides includes a retaining member. A tapping plate fits within the cavity and is operatively connected to the adjustable door with the bracket. The tapping plate includes a first aperture and a second aperture in communication with and extending perpendicular to one another. The first aperture is proximate an end of the tapping plate and corresponds with the retaining member. The adjusting member fits within the second aperture of the tapping plate.
