Please observe the following safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the product:

• Keep keys in a secure location and do not leave the cabinet unlocked when unattended.
• Exercise caution to avoid pinching fingers in the hinges of the swing doors during use.
• Ensure the cabinet is assembled on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity per shelf (40 kg) to maintain stability and prevent structural damage.

3. Package Contents

Before assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. The package should contain:

4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended to have two people for assembly. A Phillips head screwdriver is the only tool required. Avoid using power drills, as overtightening can damage the metal.

4.1 Preparation

1. Clear a spacious, clean, and flat area for assembly.
2. Unpack all components and lay them out, identifying each part according to the provided parts list (if separate from this manual).
3. Ensure all hardware is sorted and easily accessible.

4.2 Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Assemble the Frame: Begin by connecting the side panels to the base and top panels using the provided screws. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten until the entire frame is upright.
2. Install Back Panels: Slide or attach the back panels into the designated grooves or screw points.
3. Assemble Drawers: Construct the two drawers. Pay close attention to the orientation of the drawer slides and the central support for the drawer mechanism. Incorrect orientation can prevent drawers and doors from closing properly.

4. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide the assembled drawers into their respective compartments. Test their movement.
5. Attach Doors: Mount the four swing doors to the cabinet frame using the hinges. Ensure the rubber buffers are placed to allow for silent closing. Adjust hinges if necessary for proper alignment.
6. Install Locks: Secure the cylinder locks into the doors. Each lock comes with two keys. Test all locks to ensure they function correctly.
7. Place Adjustable Shelves: Insert the shelf pins into the desired height slots. Place the shelves onto the pins. The shelves are adjustable to accommodate various item sizes.

5. Operation

5.1 Doors

The cabinet features four swing doors. To open, turn the key in the lock and pull the handle. To close, push the door firmly until it engages with the magnetic catch or lock mechanism, then turn the key to secure. The rubber buffers ensure quiet operation.

5.2 Drawers

The two drawers are designed for smooth operation. Pull the handle to open and push to close. Each drawer has its own lock for securing contents. Insert the key and turn to lock or unlock.

5.3 Adjustable Shelves

The three adjustable shelves allow for flexible storage configurations. To adjust a shelf, remove all items from it, lift the shelf, and reposition the shelf pins into the desired slots on the cabinet sides. Ensure all four pins are securely seated before placing items back on the shelf.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your TecTake Metal Office Cabinet, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down all surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder-coated finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Locks and Hinges: Periodically check the locks and hinges for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied.
• Stability: Regularly check that all screws and connections remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain the cabinet's stability.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across shelves and drawers to prevent warping or instability.
