Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your HIWOKK dog crate, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Crate Instability: Ensure all screws used during assembly are tightened. Verify that the brakes on the lockable casters are engaged if the crate is meant to be stationary.
- Difficulty with Doors/Latches: Check that the latches are properly aligned with their receiving slots. Apply a small amount of pet-safe lubricant if sliding is stiff.
- Tray Not Sliding Smoothly: Ensure the tray is free of debris and properly aligned within its runners. Clean the tray and runners if necessary.
- Escape Attempts: Double-check that all safety latches on both the front and top doors are fully engaged. The heavy-duty design is intended to prevent escapes, but proper latching is crucial.
