Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Helix Key Cabinet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder-coated finish.

- Hinge Inspection: Inspect the door hinges occasionally to ensure they are secure and operating smoothly.
- Key Management: Regularly review your key organization to ensure all keys are accounted for and properly tagged.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Helix Key Cabinet, consider the following:

- Key Not Turning in Lock:
Correct Key: Ensure you are using one of the two original keys provided with the cabinet.
Lubrication: Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole if the mechanism feels stiff.
