Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drawer does not open or close smoothly. | Drawer glides are misaligned or obstructed. Drawer is overloaded. | Check for obstructions in the glides. Ensure glides are properly installed and aligned. Reduce drawer contents if overloaded. |
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware. Uneven floor. | Tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface; use shims if necessary. |
| Casters do not roll freely. | Debris caught in casters. Casters are locked. | Clean any debris from the caster wheels. Ensure the caster lock levers are in the unlocked position. |
| Cabinet tips forward when drawer is extended. | Drawer is heavily loaded, causing a shift in the center of gravity. | Ensure the cabinet is placed against a wall or another stable object. Distribute weight evenly in the drawer. Consider placing heavier items at the back of the drawer. Lock the casters when the drawer is open. |
