Operating Instructions
To open a drawer, pull the built-in handle. The full extension ball-bearing slides ensure smooth and quiet operation. Due to the scientific interlock system, only one drawer can be opened at a time to prevent tipping. To lock the cabinet, insert the key into the lock on the top drawer and turn. This will secure both drawers simultaneously.

Maintenance
To maintain your STANI file cabinet, regularly wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the painted finish. Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Lubricate drawer slides if they become stiff, using a silicone-based lubricant. Do not overload drawers to prevent strain on the slides and frame.
Troubleshooting
- Drawers not closing or opening smoothly: Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Check that the drawer slides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Lubricate slides if necessary. Verify that the interlocking mechanism is not jammed.
- Cabinet tipping: The interlocking system is designed to prevent tipping by allowing only one drawer to open at a time. If the cabinet feels unstable, ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface and not overloaded. Consider anchoring it to a wall if stability is a concern (anchoring hardware not included, but instructions may be provided).
- Lock not working: Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism or if the lock rods are misaligned.
