5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns and provides solutions for optimal use of your dog crate.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dog escapes from crate. | Door not properly latched; dog is able to manipulate the latch; crate size is too large for the dog to be contained. | Ensure the door latch is fully engaged. If your dog is particularly clever, consider adding an additional external lock for extra security. Verify the crate size is appropriate for your dog's breed and behavior. |
| Crate feels unstable or wobbly. | Screws are loose; uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the crate is placed on a flat, level surface. |
| Difficulty with door latch operation. | New mechanism stiffness; minor misalignment during assembly. | The latch may be stiff initially; it will loosen with use. Check if the door frame is aligned correctly. A small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) can be applied to the moving parts of the latch if it remains stiff. |
| Crate appears smaller than expected. | Misjudgment of dimensions; dog growth. | Always refer to the product dimensions (111 x 67 x 60 cm) before purchase to ensure it meets your specific needs and your dog's size. This crate is suitable for dogs up to 60 cm in height and 100 cm in length. |
