6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your SISESOL file cabinet, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: The powder-coated metal surface is easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior and interior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Rust Prevention: The powder-coated finish helps prevent rust. If the coating is scratched or damaged, touch up with appropriate metal paint to prevent corrosion.
• Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate the drawer slides with a silicone-based spray to maintain smooth operation.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose connections to maintain structural integrity.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SISESOL file cabinet, consider the following:

• Drawers Sticking: Check if the drawer slides are clean and lubricated. Ensure the cabinet is level by adjusting the foot levelers. Verify that the drawers are not overloaded beyond their 110-pound capacity.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check for any obstructions. Ensure the magnetic closures are clean and functional. Verify the cabinet is level.
• Stability Issues: Adjust the four foot levelers to ensure the cabinet sits firmly on the floor without wobbling. Consider wall-mounting if instability persists.
• Lock Malfunction: Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. If the lock mechanism appears damaged, do not force it.
