Operating Instructions

Operating your Keter tool organizer is simple and intuitive:

• Drawer Operation: To open a drawer, pull the handle outwards. To close, push the drawer firmly until it clicks into place. The central locking system ensures all drawers are secured when the top drawer is closed and locked.
• Using Removable Bins: The four slim drawers come with 16 removable bins. These can be rearranged or removed entirely to suit your storage needs for small parts like screws, nuts, and bolts.
• Mobility and Locking: To move the organizer, unlock the swivel casters by flipping their levers. Once in the desired location, engage the caster locks to prevent the unit from rolling.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Keter tool organizer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polypropylene resin.
• Drawer Lubrication: If drawers begin to stick or become difficult to open, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the drawer slides. This will help maintain smooth operation.
• Caster Inspection: Periodically check the casters for any debris or wear. Clean them as needed to ensure smooth rolling.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Drawers are Sticking: This can often be resolved by cleaning the drawer slides and applying a silicone lubricant. Ensure no items are obstructing the drawer's path.
• Drawers Will Not Open: Verify that the central locking system is disengaged. The top drawer's lock controls all other drawers.
• Unit is Not Stable/Wobbles: Ensure all casters are properly attached and their locks are engaged when the unit is stationary. Check that modules are securely latched together.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: In the event of missing or damaged components upon arrival, please contact Keter customer support directly for assistance.
