Lockable Doors

The cabinet doors are equipped with magnetic closures for easy access and lockable holes for added security. To secure your belongings, align the holes on the doors and insert a padlock (not included). Ensure the padlock is properly engaged.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the cabinet surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood or metal finish.
• Wood Care: Periodically inspect the wood components for signs of wear or weather damage. Applying a wood sealant or stain annually can help prolong its lifespan and maintain its weather-resistant properties.
• Metal Components: Check hinges and latches for rust or corrosion. Lubricate moving parts as needed.
• Roof Inspection: Ensure the asphalt roof remains intact and free of damage to maintain its waterproof capabilities.
• Stability: Regularly check that all screws and fasteners are tight. Re-secure ground anchors if the cabinet shows signs of instability.

Troubleshooting

• Doors not closing properly: Check hinges for alignment or damage. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Adjust foot pads if necessary.
• Shelves are wobbly: Ensure shelves are correctly seated on all support brackets. Tighten any loose screws on the connecting rods.
• Water leakage: Inspect the roof for cracks or gaps. Ensure all panels are tightly joined and sealed. Apply a waterproof sealant if needed.
• Cabinet feels unstable: Verify that the cabinet is on a firm, level surface. Utilize the provided angle irons and ground anchors to secure it firmly.
