6. Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Inspection:
- Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Inspect drawer slides for any debris or signs of wear. Clean or lubricate if needed to maintain smooth operation.
- Ensure the locking mechanism functions correctly.
7. Troubleshooting
Drawers not opening/closing smoothly:
- Check for obstructions in the drawer slides.
- Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Uneven surfaces can affect drawer alignment.
- Verify that all assembly screws for the slides are securely tightened.
Lock not engaging/disengaging:

- Check if the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
Cabinet instability:
- Confirm the cabinet is on a flat, stable surface.
- Ensure all assembly screws are tightened.
- Adhere to the anti-tilt mechanism by opening only one drawer at a time.
