Assembly Instructions

The tectake Steel Filing Cabinet requires assembly. While the instructions provide a step-by-step guide for safe and stable assembly, some users have found the process challenging. We recommend having two people for assembly and using an electric screwdriver for efficiency.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify Parts: Refer to the included parts list and diagrams to identify each component. Pay close attention to the orientation of panels and drawer slides.
3. Assemble Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the cabinet. Secure the side panels to the base and top using the provided screws and bolts. Ensure all connections are tight.
4. Install Shelves: Insert the shelf support clips into the desired slots on the side panels. Place the adjustable shelves onto these clips. The cabinet features 3 adjustable shelves, allowing for flexible storage configurations.
5. Assemble Drawers: Assemble the two drawers according to the diagrams. Attach the drawer slides to the drawer sides and then to the cabinet frame. Ensure smooth operation.
6. Attach Doors: Mount the four doors to the cabinet frame using the reinforced hinges. The doors have a 130° opening angle and noise-absorbing rubber dampers.
7. Install Locks: Install the cylinder security locks on the doors and drawers. Test each lock with the provided keys.
8. Final Check: Once assembled, ensure all screws are tightened, the cabinet is stable, and all doors and drawers open and close smoothly and lock securely.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent and dry thoroughly. The smooth interior floor facilitates easy cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder coating.
• Lubrication: Periodically check drawer slides and door hinges for smooth operation. Apply a small amount of silicone spray or light lubricant if necessary.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
• Lock Care: Keep the lock mechanisms clean and free of debris. Do not force keys if they feel stiff; apply a graphite lubricant if needed.

Troubleshooting

Cabinet is wobbly after assembly:

Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Adjust the leveling feet if present, or place shims under the base if needed.

Doors or drawers do not close smoothly:

Check for any obstructions. Ensure drawer slides are correctly aligned and free of debris. Verify that hinges are properly installed and tightened. A slight adjustment of hinge screws might be necessary.

Key is stuck or difficult to turn:

Do not force the key. Ensure the key is fully inserted. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant into the keyhole and try again. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may be damaged and require replacement.

Damaged or missing parts upon delivery:

Immediately contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service with details of the damage or missing items. Provide your order number and, if possible, photographs of any damage.
