Locking Mechanism
The cabinet features a single lock that secures all three drawers simultaneously, providing enhanced privacy and security for your documents and valuables. Two keys are provided.
- To lock the drawers, ensure all drawers are fully closed. Insert a key into the lock cylinder located on the top drawer.
- Turn the key clockwise to engage the locking mechanism. All three drawers will be secured.
- To unlock, insert the key and turn counter-clockwise.
An anti-tilt mechanism is integrated to prevent the cabinet from tipping forward. This safety feature allows only one drawer to be opened at a time.
Mobility and Stability
The cabinet is equipped with five wheels for easy movement. The 360° rotation casters allow for smooth repositioning, while the two front casters can be locked to keep the cabinet stationary.
- To move the cabinet, ensure the front casters are unlocked.
- To stabilize the cabinet, push down on the levers of the two front casters to engage the lock.

- For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
- Ensure the cabinet is dry after cleaning to prevent rust.
