1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the locker from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Location Selection: Choose a level, stable surface for placement. Ensure adequate clearance for opening all locker doors.
3. Securing the Locker: Due to its height and potential for tipping, especially when loaded, it is highly recommended to secure the locker to a wall.

5. Operation

Operating the Safco Double Tier Locker is straightforward:

• Opening a Compartment: Pull the recessed handle outwards to unlatch the door.
• Closing a Compartment: Push the door firmly until it latches securely.
• Securing with a Padlock: Each door is equipped with a padlock provision. Insert the shackle of your padlock (not included) through the designated hole in the recessed handle and secure it. Ensure the padlock is fully engaged before leaving the locker unattended.
• Internal Storage: Utilize the hat shelf for smaller items and the coat hooks for hanging garments. The adjustable hooks allow for customization of coat rod placement if desired.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your locker:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the powder coat finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all moving parts, such as door hinges and latch mechanisms, for smooth operation. Ensure the locker remains securely fastened to the wall.
• Rust Prevention: While the powder coat finish offers protection, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent rust.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your locker, consider the following common solutions:

• Door Not Latching:
  • Ensure the locker is on a level surface. Unevenness can cause doors to misalign.
  • Check for any obstructions inside the compartment or around the door frame.
  • Verify that the locker is securely mounted to the wall, preventing any shifting.
• Padlock Difficulty:
  • Ensure the padlock shackle is correctly aligned with the hole in the recessed handle.
  • Check if the padlock itself is functioning correctly.
• Unusual Noises:
  • Inspect hinges for any debris or damage. A small amount of lubricant can be applied to hinges if they are squeaking.
