5.1 Using the Locking Mechanism
Your Greenvelly cabinet features a high-security 3-point interlocking system. Insert one of the provided keys into the lock on the door handle and turn to lock or unlock the cabinet.

5.2 Adjusting Shelves
The cabinet includes 4 removable shelves that can be adjusted to different heights. To adjust a shelf, first remove all items from it. Then, carefully lift the shelf and reposition the shelf clips or supports to the desired slots on the side panels. Ensure all four clips are securely in place before placing the shelf back and loading items.

5.3 Loading the Cabinet
Distribute weight evenly across the shelves. Avoid placing heavy items exclusively on one side or on the top shelf without proper support. Each shelf is designed for strong capacity, with a thickness up to 0.789 inches, approximately 2.5 times the thickness of a standard phone.

- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but avoid overtightening.
