- Adjustable Feet: Re-adjust the leveling feet if the cabinet becomes unstable due to floor changes or movement.
8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your storage cabinet.
- Cabinet is Unstable:
Ensure the adjustable feet are properly leveled. If the floor is very uneven, consider placing shims under the feet. Verify the anti-tipping hardware is securely installed to the wall.
- Doors Do Not Close Tightly:
Check if the magnetic catches are aligned. Adjust the door hinges if necessary. Ensure the cabinet is level.
- Drawers Are Difficult to Open/Close:
Check for obstructions in the drawer slides. Ensure the drawer is correctly seated on the rails. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the slides if needed.
- Scratches on Surface:
While the powder coating is scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur. Touch-up paint may be available from the manufacturer, or a suitable metal paint can be used for minor repairs.
