Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, please refer to these common solutions:
- Assembly Difficulties / Misaligned Screw Holes: If screw holes do not seem to align, loosen all screws slightly on the affected section. Gently adjust the components to achieve proper alignment, then retighten all screws evenly. Do not force parts together.
- Pull-Out Trays Not Fitting Correctly: Ensure the trays are inserted into the designated slots directly beneath the crate floor. They are designed to slide smoothly underneath the intensive bottom net, not inside the main pet compartment.
- Crate Instability: Check that all screws are securely tightened and that the unit is placed on a level surface. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads to stabilize.
- Doors Not Latching: Verify that the door frames are properly aligned and that the latch mechanism is free of obstructions. Adjust door hinges if necessary (refer to assembly instructions).
