Troubleshooting
- Inconsistent Door Height: If the doors appear uneven after installation, adjust the adjustable foot pads located at the bottom of the metal legs. Rotate the pads clockwise or counter-clockwise to raise or lower each corner of the cabinet until the doors are aligned and the cabinet is stable.
