5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Using the Lock
The cabinet is equipped with a premium steel lock and two keys. Insert a key into the lock on the right door and turn to secure or unlock the cabinet. Ensure both doors are fully closed before locking.
5.2 Adjusting Shelves
To adjust the shelf height, remove all items from the shelf. Carefully lift the shelf off its clips. Remove the clips from their current positions and reinsert them into the desired slots at the new height. Ensure clips are level before replacing the shelf.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
The powder-coated steel surface is water-resistant and easy to clean. Wipe the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
6.2 General Care
Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. If any components become loose, tighten them immediately. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on shelves beyond their maximum static load capacity of 55 lb (25 kg) per shelf.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Doors Not Closing Securely
If the doors do not close securely, check the alignment of the hinges and ensure all screws are tightened. Verify that the magnetic catches (if present) are properly aligned and functioning. Adjust the leg levelers (if applicable) to ensure the cabinet is stable and level on the floor.
7.2 Lock Mechanism Issues
If the lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole. Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned smoothly. If the lock is damaged or non-functional, contact customer support for assistance.
