This product requires assembly. Please ensure all components are present before beginning. Refer to the included assembly instructions for detailed steps. Typically, assembly involves attaching handles, label holders, and ensuring the full-suspension system is correctly aligned for smooth drawer movement.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the cabinet for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Position the cabinet on a flat, stable surface. Ensure adequate clearance for opening drawers.
- Leveling: If the cabinet is not level, adjust any integrated leveling glides (if present) to ensure stability and proper drawer function.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Drawer Operation
The 310 Series features full-suspension drawers designed for smooth and quiet operation. To open a drawer, pull the handle firmly. To close, push the drawer until it latches securely. The cabinet is equipped with four vertical reinforcements to maintain structural integrity and ensure smooth gliding.
4.2 Locking Mechanism
The cabinet includes a standard lock for securing all drawers simultaneously. Insert the key into the lock cylinder, turn to the locked position, and remove the key. Ensure all drawers are fully closed before attempting to lock the cabinet. The HON One-Key Locks are designed for security and can be replaced if security requirements change.

4.3 Filing Capacity

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the cabinet, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the painted finish.
5.2 Drawer Maintenance
Periodically check the drawer slides for any debris or obstructions that might hinder smooth operation. If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the slides, avoiding contact with painted surfaces.
6. Troubleshooting
- Drawers are difficult to open or close: Check for overloading or obstructions within the drawer or along the slides. Ensure the cabinet is level.
- Cabinet feels unstable: Verify that the cabinet is on a flat surface and that any leveling glides are properly adjusted. Avoid opening multiple drawers simultaneously.
- Lock not engaging: Ensure all drawers are fully closed before attempting to lock the cabinet. Check if the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
