Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your file cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your file cabinet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Drawers Not Opening/Closing Smoothly

• Lubricate Slides: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the ball bearing glides if they feel stiff.

Cabinet Instability/Tipping
