Mobility and Stability:

General Care:

• Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent material degradation.
• Avoid placing excessively heavy items on top of the cabinet or inside the drawers to prevent structural damage and maintain stability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Vinsetto file cabinet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Drawers do not open or close smoothly:
  Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure no objects are obstructing the drawer's path or the slides. Verify that all assembly screws for the slides are tightened.
• Lock mechanism is not working:
  Ensure both drawers are fully closed before attempting to lock. Check that the locking bar is properly aligned with the catches on both drawers. If the lock feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole.
• Cabinet is wobbly or unstable:
  Verify that all assembly hardware is securely tightened. Ensure the cabinet is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the support caster is correctly installed and making contact with the floor.
• Hanging files do not fit:
  Ensure the adjustable hanging bars are correctly positioned for either A4 or letter-size documents. Refer to the assembly instructions for proper bar placement.
• Wheels do not roll or lock:
  Check for any debris obstructing the wheels. Ensure the brake levers are fully engaged or disengaged as intended.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact Vinsetto customer support for further assistance.
