4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two adults and takes approximately 2-4 hours. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your product. Ensure you have adequate space and the necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver) before starting.

The internal divider can be installed or removed to create one large space or two separate compartments. To install, align the divider with the pre-drilled holes and secure it with the provided screws. To remove, simply unscrew and detach.

4.2. Measuring Your Dog for Optimal Comfort
Before placing your dog in the crate, ensure the internal dimensions are suitable for their size. Measure your dog's length from nose to tail while standing, and height from the top of their ears or head to their paws while sitting. It is recommended to reserve at least 4 inches more than the measured length and height for your dog's activity space.

7.1. Sliding Door Issues
If the sliding doors do not move smoothly or detach from their track:

- Check if the track itself is securely fastened to the unit. Tighten any loose screws.
