To lock the cabinet, ensure both doors are fully closed. Insert one of the provided keys into the cylinder lock and turn it to engage the cremone bolt mechanism. To unlock, insert the key and turn it in the opposite direction.

Storage Capacity

Each shelf has a load capacity of approximately 50 kg. Distribute weight evenly across shelves to maintain stability. The cabinet is designed for clear and secure storage of documents, files, and other items in office, basement, or garage environments.

Maintenance

The Jan Nowak C001 cabinet is made of high-quality steel with a powder-coated finish, making it easy to clean and resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage.

Cleaning

Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the powder-coated finish.

Lock Care

Periodically lubricate the lock mechanism with a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

General Care

Inspect the cabinet periodically for any loose screws or connections and tighten them as needed. Ensure the cabinet remains on a level surface to prevent stress on the frame and doors.
