Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your AECOJOY Outdoor Storage Cabinet.

Assembly Difficulties

• Parts not fitting: Ensure you are using the correct parts for each step as indicated in the manual. Some panels may appear similar but have subtle differences. Do not force parts together.

Door Issues

• Doors not closing tightly: Check for proper alignment of the cabinet frame and doors. Ensure hinges are correctly installed and adjusted. Verify that the magnetic closures are functioning.
