Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your file cabinet.
Cleaning:
- The powder-coated steel surface is designed for easy cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry the surfaces thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Lock Care:
- If a lock becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray lubricant to the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.

General Care:
- Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose connections to maintain stability.
- Avoid overloading shelves or drawers beyond their specified weight capacity to prevent damage or instability.
