4. Install Anchors: Insert wall anchors (if required for your wall type) into the drilled holes.
5. Attach Brackets: Secure the wall mount brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
6. Secure Cabinet: Attach the cabinet to the wall mount brackets. Ensure the connection is firm and the cabinet is stable and flush against the wall.

The cabinet is designed with a predisposition for a padlock. To secure your belongings, insert a standard padlock (not included) through the designated holes on the doors.

• Load Management: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity per shelf. Distribute weight evenly to maintain stability.

8. Troubleshooting
