6. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your TecTake document cabinet, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the powder coating. The smooth shelves allow for easy cleaning inside.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your cabinet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Cabinet is unstable/wobbly:
Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Check that all assembly screws are fully tightened. If on an uneven floor, use shims under the base to stabilize. - Doors do not close properly:
Check for any obstructions inside the cabinet or along the door edges. Verify that the cabinet frame is square and level. Adjust hinges if necessary (refer to assembly manual for hinge adjustment details). - Lock is difficult to operate:
Ensure the key is fully inserted. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism may need inspection or replacement. - Shelves are not level:
Ensure the shelf supports are inserted into corresponding slots at the same height on both sides of the cabinet.
