Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your storage wardrobe.
Doors or Drawers Do Not Align:
- Leveling: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a completely level surface. Use shims if necessary to correct any unevenness in the floor.
- Assembly: Verify that all assembly steps were followed correctly and that all screws are tightened appropriately. Loose connections can cause misalignment.
- Hinges/Runners: For doors, check the hinge adjustments. For drawers, ensure the metal runners are correctly installed and securely fastened to both the drawer and the cabinet frame. Tighten any loose screws on the runners.
Drawers Are Stiff or Noisy:
- Overload: Reduce the weight or volume of items in the drawer.
- Runners: Inspect the metal runners for any obstructions or damage. Ensure they are clean and properly lubricated if needed (check product manual for specific recommendations). Tighten screws on the runners.
Cabinet Feels Unstable:
- Anchoring: Confirm that the cabinet is securely anchored to a wall stud using the anti-tip hardware. This is the primary method for ensuring stability.
- Leveling: Re-check that the cabinet is on a level surface.
- Assembly: Ensure all structural connections are tight.
Handles Difficult to Install or Break:
- Screw Alignment: Ensure screws are perfectly aligned with the handle holes before tightening.
- Overtightening: Avoid excessive force when tightening screws, as this can strip threads or damage handles.
- Replacement: If a handle or screw is damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts.
