Assembly Tips:

Maintenance

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during or after assembly.
- Holes Not Aligning: If holes do not perfectly align during assembly, slightly loosen surrounding screws, adjust the panel position, and then re-tighten. Minor tweaking is sometimes necessary.
- Loose Screws: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. If a screw feels loose or stripped, replace it with a slightly longer or wider screw if possible, or contact customer service for replacement parts.
- Door Opening in Wind: If the doors tend to open in windy conditions, consider installing an additional latch or securing mechanism from a local hardware store for extra security.
