Adjustable Shelves

Lateral File Drawers
The lower section contains two lateral file drawers with adjustable metal hanging rods. These rods can be adjusted to accommodate various file sizes:
- Supported Sizes: Letter, Legal, F4, and A4 documents.
- Adjusting Rods: Slide the hanging rods along the tracks to fit your specific file dimensions.
- Maximum Storage: If you need to store items other than hanging files, the metal hanging rods can be removed to create more open storage space.

Interlock System
The cabinet features an interlock system that allows only one drawer to be opened at a time. This safety feature prevents the cabinet from tipping over due to uneven weight distribution. Do not attempt to force open a second drawer if one is already open.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Fesbos Metal Cabinet:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: If drawer slides become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the tracks.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Fesbos Metal Cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:
- Drawers Not Aligning/Closing Properly: This is often due to the drawer slider tabs not being fully engaged in the final lock position during assembly. Ensure the drawer is pushed firmly until the sliders click into place. Re-check the assembly video for correct drawer installation.
- Locking Mechanism Issues: If a lock is not functioning correctly, verify that the mechanism was installed according to the instructions. Ensure no parts are bent or obstructed. If issues persist, contact customer support.
- Bent Parts: If any parts appear bent upon arrival or during assembly, do not attempt to force them. Contact customer support for replacement parts. Forcing bent parts can compromise the cabinet's stability and safety.
- Cabinet Instability: Ensure the cabinet is on a flat, level surface. Check that all assembly hardware is securely tightened. The adjustable feet can be used to level the cabinet on uneven floors.
